all i want is the pronunciation. thank you for your help.

Answer 1

Showing pronunciation is tricky, it will be approximate at best, but I'll try :

The syllable with the capitals is the one that's stressed eg.... ex-pla-NAT-ion



cysgod.... CUSS-god



rhosyn....ROSS-in (the r is aspirated though)



gwynt... GWINT



tân.... TAAN



dŵr... DOOR ( NOT as the English 'door'.... 'oo' as in soon)



lili...LIL-y



nant.....( rhymes with pant)



afon...AV-on ( av as in have, not as in haven)



bradlofrydd (llofrydd = murderer)....braad- LOF - rith ( th as in then, not as in thin)



rhosyn rhuddgoch....... ROSS-in RITH-goch ( aspirated 'r's again, th as in then, ch as in loch)



cerddwr blaidd... KERR-thoor-blithe (th as in then) (err as in erato)



I hope you can decipher my explanations.
