>Has anyone got a (relatively comprehensive) list of Welsh names for (mainly >British) places? There is a widely available atlas in Welsh, "Yr Atlas Cymraeg" is its name I think. A Welsh shop should have it -- the only shop I know off the top of my head is the Siop Pendref in Bangor: (0248) 362676. It's published by Y Lolfa, the big Welsh press. Anyway it's quite good and gives place names for everywhere in the world in Welsh. >Also, how do you translate the `-shire' at the end of county-names, eg. >Lancashire, Herefordshire, Leicestershire? (Assuming the Welsh translate >those, that is.) Usually 'Sir' for counties in Wales -- it mutates the following word, so: Sir Fo+n (Anglesey, the old county). But there seem to be a lot of counties to which it isn't applied, which are just referred to by their Welsh names: I've never heard of the new counties being called "Sir Wynedd" etc. But I've also heard 'Swydd Amwythig' for Shropshire; "Swydd" also means "shire" (though it seems to do a lot of different jobsus in the language). - David Librik librik@cory.Berkeley.edu
