Ha! Yeah, it's not an obvious one... I'd say try 'goo-ith-boo-ill', that'd be close. The 'll' sound at the end is that particular Welsh fricative though, that's the trickiest part!

Diolch! Me too... :)

Very interesting! I believe there's significantly more Welsh written online than Irish, perhaps the 'critical mass' of language needed lies somewhere between those two?

The child would of course grow up to become the great bard Taliesin, and those first poetic words he spoke would be known as Dyhuddiant Elffin. The poem attributed to the baby bard can still be read today, preserved in the Book of Taliesin.

Interestingly, both stories are filled with vivid, highly specific imagery - clothing patterns and colours, architectural layouts, precise positioning of troops and servants. Instead of the surreal that we usually associate with dream sequences, these stories are as sharply clear as reality.

Neither player wins, however, with Arthur throwing a temper tantrum and smashing the board before the game is complete! Rhonabwy eventually awakes, to find he has been sleeping solidly for three days.

In a final act of vengeance against the giant, Culhwch and his companions shave not only the beard of Ysbaddaden, but his flesh and skin to the bone!
3/3

But this is no easy feat, requiring the blood of a black hag to soften the tough beard, and a razor fashioned from the tusk of Ysgithyrwyn Penbaedd, the king of the boars.

What do you think? Does the new version better fit how you'd imagine an ancient Welsh warrior-king...?

And finally, the moustache! Accounts vary of what facial hair was worn by which ancient Britons at different times, but for at least parts of the era of the tales of the Mabinogion, and in particular for those of higher social status, moustaches were common clearly amongst the ancient Welsh!

Coupled with a touch of specular (shininess) it began to become a plausible version of something that would fit the source descriptions. The green colour came also from the Welsh national flag, setting off the red of the cloak nicely.

Next, the description “gold brocaded silk” is so commonly mentioned in the original text that I had to try to represent it somehow! I re-textured the tunic with a fine gold-threaded pattern, again trying to find something that would stay coherent when post-processed.
5/9

The first was that a cloak would be essential. Red is of course traditionally a colour of nobility, and the colour of the Welsh dragon, so it was a natural choice. A slight patterned texture helped give it a richer feel through the heavy post-processing used in the game.
4/9

Ultimately, the fact that we’re dealing with a work of fiction, together with the changing meanings of words and ambiguities in translation, meant that it would be fairly easily to justify a broad range of creative choices. But still, a few themes came through.
