What are 'abertawe' and gaillimhe' in their own languages (if that makes sense)?

Ringer,

Abertawe looks Welsh so I can't help you there.

Gaillimh is the Irish (Gaelic) for Galway. In the genitive case it becomes Gaillimhe as in Condae na Gallaimhe (The County of Galway).

If it helps, Abertawe is the Welsh name for Swansea, but (depending on the precise question)it means "Mouth of the river Tawe!"
