Coming up on Dead Hill Road
Coming back on the drive last night, we saw a lighted display announcing the closure of the Bryn Mawr exit. Only on the sign the name of the street was spelled "BRYN MARW". Now some of you (i.e. anyone unfortunate enough to be within earshot of me when the subject's come up before) know that "Bryn Mawr" is a Welsh name meaning "big" (mawr) "hill" (bryn). As it turns out, marw is a Welsh word as well, one meaning "dead".
