Note 13 — Chapter VI · The Folklore of the Wells

Cadrawd here gives the Welsh as ‘2 bladur … 2 đyđ o wair,’ and observes that the lacuna consists of an illegible word of three letters. If that word was either sef, ‘that is,’ or neu, ‘or,’ the sense would be as given above. In North Cardiganshire we speak of a day’s mowing as gwaith gwr, ‘a man’s work for a day,’ and sometimes of a gwaith gwr bach, ‘a man’s work for a short day.’ ↑
