- ↑ The word Duw, God, in the old Celtic, seems to have been formed from da yw, that is, he is good.
- ↑ MATT. XXV. 33, 34, &c.
- ↑ Ion is one of the names of God, perhaps the same with Jehovah. The name of a man, Ioan, which is the Latin Johannes, is ignorantly pronounced Ion, which should be Io an, in two syllables, as appears from that verse of Iolo Goch:—
Ail yw IO AN lân lonydd. - ↑ This is beautifully expressed by Homer (Illiad A. and elsewhere), though the fate is by him attributed to Jupit— er, who is said to do it with a nod of his immortal head. And after him Virgil (En. lib. IX.), and elsewhere. But much more beautifully and majestically by the great. Creator himself, &c., I will shake the heavens (make or cause to tremble) the heavens, &c., ISAIAH xiii. 13. See HAG. ii. 6, which expression our Author has followed.
- ↑ MATT. XXV. 41.
- ↑ Diffaith, from di and ffaith, evil, vile, literally not good. Ffaith was an old British, or Celtic word for good; and tho' the Cambro—Britons have lost the primitive, they retain it in the compound; and the Irish (a branch of the Celtic) use the word maith to this day for good, which the French Britains pronounce MAT. Here I must observe, that Dr. Davies should have wrote diffaith, a desert, with an (e) diffaeth; hence diffaethwch, a wilderness, from di and ffaeth,i.e., uncultivated, or not mellow.
