366 I henaint yr êl honno L.G.C. 10 ‘may she go [live] to old age’, cf. 476; Dêl amorth yn dâl imi Gr.O. 59 ‘may misfortune come as retribution to me’; in a dependent clause:
 * Pan ddêl y Pasg a’r glasgoed,
 * Bun a ddaw beunydd i oed.—D.G. 199.

‘When Easter comes, and the green trees, [my] lady will come daily to the tryst.’ Sometimes in Late W. the ending is added; as gwnelo § 162 i, doed a ddelo beside doed a ddêl ‘come what may come’.

Other forms of the subjunctive occur as follows in Ml. W.:

af: pres. sg. 3. aho 140; pl. 3. ahont  17.

gwnaf: pres. sg. 3. gunaho 70, gwnaho  10, ll. 13, 27, gunech, gwnech § 183 iii (1); pl. 3. gvvnahont 61, gwnahon  34.

deuaf: pres. sg. 1. dybwyf 1183; sg. 3. dybo ib., dyvo do. 584, dyffo 10, dyppo  90, deupo  6, dyẟeuho, deẟeuho  29; pl. 3. dyffont  i 136, diffont  59, 60, deuhont  3; imperfect sg. 3. dyfei 3, dyffei do. 13, 2, dybei  6.

Impv.—(1) dos ‘go!’ e.g. dos ẏ’r llys 14 ‘go to the court’. This is the usual meaning; but the original meaning was doubtless, like that of the Corn. and Bret. forms, ‘come’. This is preserved in some parts of Powys to this day; and is sometimes met with in Ml. W.; e.g. dos yma 176,  221 ‘come here’.

Ml. W. dyret 21,  173, Ỻ.A. 99, etc.; dabre  102,  17,. 125, etc.—Mn. W. dyfydd D.G. 41, dyred do. 107, dabre (misprinted debre) D.G. 31, 134, 515, tyred, dyre I.G. 215, Gwna ddydd a dyrd, Gwenddydd dec W.Ỻ. 83 ‘make an appointment and come, fair Gwenddydd’, Tyrd i’r bwlch, taro di’r bêl I.T. Ỻ 133/213 ‘come to the breach, strike thou the ball’, § 44 vi, Dere â’r cafodydd hyfryd Wms. 273 ‘come with [i.e. bring] the gladsome showers’.

Sg. 3.: aet 13, 35, elhid  101, gwnaet  261, gvnaed  406, deuet  186, deuhet  88, doet  122.

Pl. 2.: dowch vi  407, 447,  261, 292, dewch Ỻ.A. 126.

—(1) On myned, mynd, see § 44 vi.

The Ml. and Mn. v.n. of gwnaf is gwneuthur. D. 121 also gives gwneuthud, but this is rarely met with. It is printed in D.G. 107, but is not attested by the cynghanedd. In the dialects a new form gwneud arose; this is in common use in the late period; the earliest example I have noted is in 1. (In D.G. 409 gwneud makes a short line, and should be gwneuthur; for it wr wneyd marnad arall i 200 read vwrw’n y dŵr farwnad arall  77/158; so wherever gwneud is attributed to an old author.) V.a. gwneithurẏedic  114.

The only v.n. of deuaf is dyfod; but the f became w § 26 v, and wo interchanges with wa § 34 iv, hence dywot Ỻ.A. 80, dywod T.A. 14976/101, dywad D.G. 306, spelt dowad  369 (see § 33
