Note 28 — Chapter IX · Place-name Stories
Reading edition
Ỻwydawc Gouynnyat would seem to mean Ỻwydawc the Asker or Demander, and the epithet occurs also in the Kulhwch in the name Gaỻcoyt Gouynynat (Mabinogion, 106), to be read doubtless G. Gouynnyat, ‘G. who asks or demands’: possibly one should rather compare with Go-uynnyat the word tra-mynyat, ‘a wild boar’: see Williams’ Seint Greal, pp. 374, 381. However, the epithets in the Twrch Trwyth story do not count so far as concerns the place-names derived. ↑
