Sorry I've been away - I thought I'd be back this a.m. but forgot that I had a meeting in Cardiff.

Let me fall upon my sword from the outset. Symlog is right about the 4 years old - here I go preaching about the inaccuracies of some websites, then cut and paste from them! It's also the problem of doing this at work, when all my books are at home - where my Internet connection curtails prolonged work on-line! So, "Yn codi'n bedair oed" should be used. Also "a rhwng" (typo - I thought I'd caught it) and "ei" phig (I had caught several other 'e' ommissions, but missed that one).

I didn't know what 'dyg' was all about - I thought it might/should be 'dig' which makes sense. I'm glad Symlog has the correct reference to hand. And 'yes' on the 'gen i' as well - I grabbed stuff from various sources because I didn't know which verses MM had to hand, so didn't comb through for consistency.

So, mea culpa on the above mistakes. I must get my home system sorted so that I can do more in the evenings. This business of dividing attention at work between folk music and Summaries of Regional European Funding in Pre-Accession States doesn't always make for clear thinking ... on either subject!
