§ 148 which differed, were assim&shy;ilated, so that lled is a re-formation of *llyd on the analogy of lletaf. This seems also the simplest expla&shy;nation of Ir. letha and similar forms. In the same way W. hynaf seems to owe its y to the compar&shy;ative hŷn, § 65 iv (1).

The cpv. lled in Job xi 9 is changed in late editions to llettach; the literary form is lled: thus Eidion lled no’r dunnell win Ỻ. 14967/20 ‘an ox broader than a tun of wine’; cf. L.G.C. 429.
 * O drugareddpen Calfaria, sydd yn llawer lled nar byd.—Wms. 490.‘Oh the mercy of mount Calvary, which is much wider than the world.’

mawr ‘large, great’; eqtv. Ml. kymeint, Mn. cỿmaint, and Ml. kymein, Mn. cỿmain § 106 iii (2); as a noun meint, Mn. maint; cpv. Ml. moe § 75 i (3), Ml. and Mn. mwy, as an adv. mwyach also; spv. mwyhaf § 147 ii (2), mwyaf.

tren(n) ‘strong’; cpv. trech (≡ trēch); spv. trechaf.

Trechaf treisied, gwannaf gwaedded prov. ‘let the strongest oppress, the weakest cry’. S.T. has a new cpv. trechach 6.

W. trenn, Ir. trēn < *trek-sno‑s, √stereɡ‑: Germ, stark, streng, Eng. strong;—cpv. trech, Ir. tressa (with added ‑a) < *trek-’son < *treg-isōn;—spv. trechaf, Ir. tressam < *trek-’sₑmo‑s.

chweg ‘sweet’ has Ml. cpv. chwechach 481,  121, formed like trechach from an old cpv. *chwech < *su̯ek-’son.

uchel ‘high’; eqtv. Ml. kyvuch, Mn. cyfuwch, contr. cuwch; exclam. uchet 1417; as a noun uchet  189; cpv. Ml. uch, Mn. uwch; spv. uchaf.
