Hob Y Dylif ~
???
Y is 'the' ~
Dylif is 'flood' ~
Hob? ~ I haven't a clue, nor have the native Welsh speakers in my family...Curious! And some of them have also studied the older versions of their native language...
Now, will I be able to find my copy of the 'Relicks'? Is it here or elsewhere? If not me I know some others that will likely have a copy on hand and may know more about this particular relic...
