Ah! You’re speaking Gog! It all makes sense now. I’d tried it in a few lexicon type sites with no success. Maybe they’re hwntws too…

…for example:

“Os dw i’n dechrau unrhyw le fel ‘na baswn i creu rhywle gyda awyrgylch fel hon.”

Translated by Google as:

“If I start any place like that Bassoon to create a place with an atmosphere like this.”

Hi Carl!

I’ve noticed you use the word ‘baswn’ quite a lot and I’m struggling to recall its meaning. Amusingly, Google translate plumps for ‘bassoon’, which, unless you’ve been hiding a passion for the more obscure of the woodwind instruments from me, I find unlikely.

It’s one of those words which sounds really familiar, but I can’t get my finger on it…frustration…
