In the Vocabularies only the most frequently used words are selected and their meanings are inserted in brackets after them.

Note 2. That every sound-symbol in Welsh (except Y, see § 8 Gram.) has always the same sound.
Note 3. That B, D, H (always aspirated), L, M, N, (long o or short o), P, R (clearly trilled), S always the sharp sibilant), and T have the same sound in Welsh as in English....
