how did the hurdy gurdy get its name
Hurdy-gurdy According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the mid 18th century origin of the term hurdy-gurdy is onomatopoeic in origin, after the repetitive warble in pitch that characterizes instruments with solid wooden wheels that have warped due to changes in humidity or after the sound of the buzzing-bridge.[11] Alternately, the term is thought to come from the Scottish and northern English term for uproar or disorder, hirdy-girdy[7]:41 or from hurly-burly,[7]:40 an old English term for noise or commotion. The instrument is sometimes more descriptively called a wheel fiddle in English, but this term is rarely used among players of the instrument. Another possible derivation is from the Hungarian "hegedÅ±s" (Slovenian variant "hrgadus") meaning a fiddle.[12]
The Pale The word pale derives ultimately from the Latin word
Cwm Rhondda Arglwydd, arwain trwy'r anialwch, Fi, bererin gwael ei wedd, Nad oes ynof nerth na bywyd Fel yn gorwedd yn y bedd: Hollalluog, Hollalluog, Ydyw'r Un a'm cwyd i'r lan. Ydyw'r Un a'm cwyd i'r lan Agor y ffynhonnau melus 'N tarddu i maes o'r Graig y sydd; Colofn dân rho'r nos i'm harwain, A rho golofn niwl y dydd; Rho i mi fanna, Rho i mi fanna, Fel na bwyf yn llwfwrhau. Fel na bwyf yn llwfwrhau. Pan yn troedio glan Iorddonen, Par i'm hofnau suddo i gyd; Dwg fi drwy y tonnau geirwon Draw i Ganaan – gartref clyd: Mawl diderfyn. Mawl diderfyn Fydd i'th enw byth am hyn. Fydd i'th enw byth am hyn.
