Dictionary of the Welsh Language

This set of four dictionaries presents in alphabetical order the vocabulary of the Welsh language from the remnants of Old Welsh, through the abundant literature of the Medieval and Modern periods, to the explosion of vocabulary arising from the ever-increasing use of the language in all fields of 20th-century life. These references are the first standard historical Welsh dictionaries. The vocabulary is defined in Welsh, but English equivalents are also given. Detailed attention is given to variant forms, common collocations, and etymology. Volumes included: 0708305040 Volume 1, 070830981X Volume 2, 0708315305 Volume 3, 0708318045 Volume 4
