 (In Welsh spelling, 'y' can be either a 'schwa' - the neutral vowel to be heard in the first part of the English word 'about', for example, or an 'i' sound, either short as in 'bit' or long as in 'beat', depending on the word . In the versions of names between braces, we have marked the 'y' pronounced as [i] with an umlaut (ÿ). Examples are Glanconwÿ, Rhandir-mwÿn, Brÿngwran. This is not a standard Welsh spelling - but in materials for learners of Welsh it is usual to use some special letter to indicate this pronunciation to aid learners. The 'real' spelling therefore is without the umlaut)
