§ 191
Verbs
353

makes no sense; a better reading seems to be ny hanẟenei p 16/43 (w.m. p. 92) ‘he could not rest’ (hanẟen, by dissim. > Mn. W. hamẟen ‘leisure’, hamẟenol ‘leisurely, slowly’; han- ‘without’ + den, √dhen‑: Skr. dadhan-ti ‘causes to run’).

iii. The verb cyfarfyddaf â ‘I meet’ is conjugated like the above verbs (v.n. kyvarvot w.m. 58, 125, perf. sg. 3. kyvarvu do. 170, plup. sg. 3. cyfarvuassei ib.), except that the old forms were obsolete in Late Ml. W. But D.B. has kyveryw a mi r.p. 1385 ‘has met me, happened to me’; and ry-gyveryw a occurs in w.m. 42, changed to ry-gynneryw a in r.m. 29, as if it were a compound of deryw, the form cyveryw being apparently unknown, and the u (≡ v) mistaken for n.

iv. In the dialects darfyddaf and cyfarfyddaf, the most commonly used of these verbs, are mostly conjugated as if they were regular verbs; and such barbarisms as darfyddodd, cyfarfyddais, canfyddais occur in recent writings. The impf. hanoedd seems to have survived the other obsolete forms; this was mistaken for an aor. hanodd, from which was inferred an imaginary v.n. hanu, common in recent biographies.

§ 191. i. (1) The verbs gwnn (gwn) ‘I know’, v.n. gwybot (gwybod), and adwaen ‘I am acquainted with’, v.n. adnabot (adnabod), are conjugated as follows in Ml. (and Mn.) W.
