About the Publisher

INTRODUCTION

The first Spurrell Welsh-English dictionary appeared in 1848 published by William Spurrell (1813–89) the Carmarthen printer and publisher. One of his sons, Walter Spurrell (1858–1934), joined his father in the business and the family firm published a series of distinguished Welsh-English, English-Welsh dictionaries and influential Welsh grammars during the latter part of the nineteenth century and the first half of the last century. William Spurrell was advised by and well-acquainted with Daniel Silvan Evans (1818–1903), one of the father figures of Welsh lexicography, sometime lecturer in Welsh at St David’s University College, Lampeter and the first professor of Welsh to be appointed by the University of Wales.

The Collins-Spurrell Welsh Dictionary was first published in 1960 and quickly became an essential tool of general reference for Welsh learners as well as those anxious to interpret literature. It was edited by Henry Lewis, Professor of Welsh Language and Literature at University College, Swansea, with valuable contributions from the staff of the Department of Welsh Language and Literature at St David’s University College, Lampeter.

NOTES ON THE PRONUNCIATION OF WELSH

VOWELS

They are sounded, long or short, as the vowels in the English words given below.

A |  | palm, pat.
E |  | gate (without diphthongization), get.
I |  | feet, fit.
O |  | more, not.
U | (1) | North Wales: like French u or German ü without rounding lips.
| (2) | South Wales: as I.
W |  | cool, full.
Y | (1) | In monosyllables generally, and in final syllables, as U (the ‘clear’ sound).
| (2) | In all but final syllables, and in y, yr (the), fy (my), dy (thy), yn, yng, ym (in), the adverbial yn, the preverbal and relative particle y, yr (y’m, y’th etc), syr (sir), nyrs (nurse), as English fun, (the ‘obscure’ sound).

DIPHTHONGS

1 | Falling diphthongs, in which the second sound is consonantal: the two vowels have the sound noted above: ae, oe, ai, oi, the diphthong ei as English by, aw, ew, iw, ow, uw, ŵy, yw.
2 | Rising diphthongs, in which the first sound is consonantal: ia, ie, io, iw, iy, (‘obscure’ y); wa, we, wi, wo, wy, (‘clear’ y), wy, (‘obscure’ y).

CONSONANTS

Only those which differ from English need to be noted.

CH | (following C in the alphabet), as Scottish loch.
DD | (following D in the alphabet), as th in English this, breathe.
F | as English v.
FF | as English f.
G | always as in English go.
NG | (following G in the alphabet), as in English sing.
| In some words (e.g. dangos), however, it is sounded ng-g, as in English longer. Alphabetically this follows after N.
LL | produced by placing the tongue to pronounce l, then emitting breath without voice.
PH | (following P in the alphabet), as English f.
TH | always as th in English thin.

ACCENT

Welsh words are generally accented on the last syllable but one. There are certain exceptions:

1 | The reduplicated personal pronouns myfi, tydi, efe, efô, hyhi, nyni, chwychwi, hwynt-hwy, accented on the final syllable.
2 | Verbs in -(h)au, -(h)oi, -eu, accented on the final syllable.
3 | A few dissyllabic words beginning y + consonant, accented on the final syllable.
4 | Certain polysyllabic words with a diphthong resulting in contraction in the final syllable, such as Cymraeg.
5 | Some borrowed words accented as in the language of origin, generally English.

MUTATIONS

Mutations, or letter changes, can occur at the beginning of Welsh words. Mutations are caused by the preceding word. There are three different mutations:

Llythyren wreiddiol | Treiglad meddal | Treiglad trwynol | Treiglad llaes
Original letter | Soft mutation | Nasal mutation | Aspirate mutation
