Help[Facts] Re: Creirdyddlydd
in reply to a message by H E
This is actually a misspelling of Creiddylad - https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Creiddylad - which is a name from the Arthurian story of Culhwch and Olwen. It has never been used as a name outside of literature. In modern Welsh it would be pronounced, roughly, cray-THUL-ad.
(Quick pronunciation guide: dd = a soft th; ei = like the e in 'red' run together with ee, which sounds roughly like the ay in 'hay' in English; y = uh except in final syllables, when it's like the i in 'hit'.)
