[Facts] Interestingly..
mabinogion is not a real Welsh word; it was made up by Lady Charlotte Guest, one of the earliest translators of the 'Pedeir Keinc Y Mabinogi' (the Four Branches of the Mabinogi) into English.Mabinogion is pronounced mab-in-OG-ee-on (slight stress on the og, not too heavy).Pedeir Keinc Y Mabinogi is pronounced ped-ire kine-k uh mab-in-og-ee, and refers only to the four tales which deal variously with Pryderi, Rhiannon, Gwydion etc.
