Pronunciation of Llyr
How is the Welsh name Llyr pronounced? I know what the Welsh "ll" sounds like, but I'm not sure about the rest. One of the comments says it should be spelt with a circumflex over the "y"; Llŷr. Is this a more correct or common spelling?

It's pronounced HLEER.Not sure about the circumflex part. I've never seen circumflexes used in Welsh, but maybe they're just really rare.
