Welsh
[edit]Alternative forms
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Middle Welsh ufydd, perhaps from Latin oboediēns via a Proto-Brythonic *ʉβʉð or *ʉβɨð, though this has phonological difficulties as the expected outcome would be Proto-Brythonic *oβuɨð yielding Welsh *ofwydd. Another possibility is a derivation from ufyl (“humble”) + -ydd, though here the loss of yl is unexplained.[1]
Pronunciation
[edit]- (North Wales) IPA(key): /ˈɨ̞vɨ̞ð/
- (South Wales) IPA(key): /ˈiːvɪð/, /ˈɪvɪð/
Adjective
[edit]ufudd (feminine singular ufudd, plural ufuddion, equative ufudded, comparative ufuddach, superlative ufuddaf)
