Gah. Chrome crashed and ate my other reply.
Anyway, the short version is that if you (or your Cymry-loving audience
)'re into world-building, you might want to check out
Hywel's laws, esp. the glossary that explains how
cymry didn't even cover all the Welsh nobles at this point let alone th commoners. ([post=15042354]Here[/post]'s my takeaway about the game effects of the old Welsh culture). Also, take a look at
Drachenfire's
old Welsh mod for CK1 for the name lists if nothing else. The discussion has a section
on epithets (although if you want to do it right, Welsh
mutates). If you're really into it, check
this intro out, especially the part on adjectives and interjections (e.g.,
Wcw!!! is Welsh for "Murder most foul!!!").
This and
this are great for place-names for battles or for colony names later on.
Anyway, since Bleddyn already means "wolf" or "wolfcub": maybe something like "bloodclaw" (
Bleddyn Crafrudd) or "wolffury" (
Bleddyn Bleddfar) would be better than "aquiline" (
Bleddyn Eryrawl). But yr call.
I'll hold out hope Gruffydd ap Cynan comes from over the sea with his Irish mercs to ship the Mathrafals off to Northumbria. :glare:
