Notes: Had to look up the Welsh term, which required a trip to where the Geiriadur yr Academi lives. As I was replacing it on the shelf, a woman leapt up from her seat and asked me, "Do you speak Welsh?" "A little," I replied. She burbled excitedly about how she was looking to learn it and could I help her? I modestly declined, but I gave her the names of every website and local organisation I could think of that might be helpful, from the Chicago Tafia down through maes-e. She told me her name and department, but when I tried to look her up later, I couldn't find a single person with even her surname. Hmmm...
