Hi Eve,
Out of curiosity, what got you interested in Cymraig? Did you
take a class for it or teach yourself? I love languages!

Sorry, but no. I speak Cymraeg which is very close to Gaelic.
As Bridget
says, it is a bitch to spell things. Samhain is the correct
spelling.
Sow'in is how it is phonetically pronounced in English. Nothing
English
about it though.

Celtic spelling is a bitch, LOL! Nothing like English. It
reminds me a bit
of Hebrew.

I am sorry, but I have to make a couple of spelling corrections
here that
are bugging me like nails on a chalk board.
Sem, you have the pronounciation right it seems, but the
spelling is wrong.
Samhain and Beltane are Gaelic words and as such are not spelled
the way we
would think for English phonetics. Please get this right. If
someone does
want to look up what you are speaking of so that they could
learn, they
will
have a hard time finding anything with that spelling.
Thanks
Hey Bridget, You totally cracked me up and surprised me. I will
tell you
why
later off list.

Brigit. Oh yes that was my point. That they all do it. I just
picked
an example to illustrate it that wouldn't risk offending anyone.
LOL.
I do remember reading the Greek myths during my 4 years of Latin
in
high school and being wowed by how many of the myths were in the
bible, the supposed one true and first word, though the Greek
myths
had been written thousands of years prior. Of course then I was
already searching, but it stimulated my love of history and need
to be
educated. I liked the pollinating analogy you used. That's a
very good
one, and illustrates well.
