§ 168 oll. This is always used in an adverbial case (of measure), and generally follows the word or phrase which it limits, though in poetry it may precede it.

(1) Subst. cwbl ‘the whole’, followed by o ‘of’.

In Late Mn. W. the article came to be put before cwbl; this appears already in the Bible : Gen. xiv 20 (1620); in late edns. in Ex. xxiii 22, 2 Chron. xxxii 31.

Adj. cwbl [soft] ‘complete’.

cwbɏl waradwyẟ a geveis 42 ‘[it is] a thorough insult that 1 have had’; cwbɏl weithret, cwbɏl sarhaet  i 526 ‘the complete act, the full fine’; cwbl ddiwyd&shy;rwydd 2 Pedr i 5.

It is also used after its noun: kanny bu weithret cwbɏl i 526 ‘since there was not a complete act’; cymod&shy;lonedd cwbl  i 348 ‘complete reconci&shy;liation’.

Adv. yn gwbl, o gwbl ‘wholly’: ac ereẏll en kubɏl a ẟẏleassant
