"Yma o Hyd" - Welsh Patriotic Song

[@evne6517]

This makes pawb feel very phopeth

[@icygeometry]

This makes everything (paωb) feel like everyone (phopeth) Also, I'm intrigued. could anyone please explain why the Greek letter omega "ω" is used in place of "w"? "This makes *paωb* feel very phopeth" instead of "This makes *pawb* feel very phopeth"

@@icygeometry It's not, it's just the font. (It's supposed to look Celtic)

[@icygeometry]

@@Connor_JR I tried finding it from my attempts of online searching; I tried and tried, and it always returns with nothing like you implied! The Ws all sharp and pointy, be it old manuscripts (they are in older on to modern friggin' Welsh language fonts. which artfully bothered to transform Welsh letters DD and LL: lowercase "dd" with the top pointy bits kissing each other, and one of the Ls on sat on another's lap (just look up Cymru Wales Serif or Cymru Wales Transport); but for W, fuck all, it's still W. The historical Welsh letters I get online are ỽ for V, U and W and ỻ for LL, goddamnit. Do you have any other ideas?

@@icygeometry I'm Welsh...

[@icygeometry]

​@@Connor_JR Oh that's cool, dang sorry for the trouble caused. So, had you seen the rounded Ws before yourself? If so, I think that might imply the Welsh traditional typeface staying true to the letter name "double U".

Though I am not of Welsh ancestry, I respect the hell out of the people of Gymraeg.

[@toonatr356]

Cymraeg is the name of the language(idk whether it is used as the name of the nationality). The name of the country is Cymru. Gymraeg is the soft mutated form. I guess you heard it from iaith Gymraeg which means Welsh language where iaith is feminine so the Cymraeg is softened to Gymraeg. I am not of Welsh ancestry too, and speak a bit of Welsh, still respect the hell out of genedl Gymru.

At note on the translation: "Er gwaetha a Gelyn a'i griw!/Despite England, we are alive!" 'Gelyn' doesn't directly translate as 'England'. The name of that country is 'Lloegyr'. 'Gelyn' translates as Enemy, but the implication is clear

[@icygeometry]

I'm intrigued, could you or anyone please explain why the Greek letter omega "ω" is used in place of "w"? They're already so unrelated from each other; "ω" in its lowercase form, was originally two omicrons “oo” written together in Greek in the other end of Europe; the usage of "w" emerged separately from Latin "VV" or "uu" in the 7th or 8th centuries that later combined for the West Germanic languages and in turn the English language alongside Welsh due to both of them being in Great Britain.

[@alynwillams4297]

The Greek letter omega (ω) is not typically used in place of "w." If it appears so, it's usually due to typographic errors, visual similarity, or stylistic choices. Historically, "w" originated from the doubling of "u" or "v" in medieval Latin to represent the /w/ sound, while omega represents a long "o" sound in Greek and has no relation to "w." Any substitution is likely a mistake or artistic choice, not a linguistic standard.

[@icygeometry]

@@alynwillams4297 I'm glad for the neat and much better explanation than I did. It was hard for me to pinpoint the usage of the rounded W in Welsh online, in which I found nothing in the end.

[@blotski]

@@tomsloan5743 It's a waste of time to engage directly with 'Liz'. The chances are it's a Russian troll. There is actually a small chance it's one of these extremely easily manipulated and gullible people who openly support one of the most authoritarian, imperialist, expansionist, extreme right wing dictators just because he's anti-Western but it's not worth engaging with them either because the lack of background knowledge they have is beyond the scope of a KZbin comment section.
