      The big terms knight and sir only reflect my pure protectors aka the alphas aka the only knight / sir / lord / mr / prince / king etc (and the color red / colors and big compIiments like great / perfect / amazing etc only reflect me the only Goddess / Lady / Queen / Princess / Star etc) and cannot be misused by hum’ns in yt name / names or in comments etc, and all unsuitable terms / names / yt names must be changed / edited out! Words such as helpful / informative / educational / interesting / entertaining etc must be used instead, only when referring to languages learning videos or other educational videos that promote a positive thing! Word like wel / well and special names like Lyn / Lynn / Lin / Li / Lee etc also only reflect me, and such terms / names also cannot be in someone’s name or yt name!

      Anwy, I’ve been learning Welsh for a few days, and I already know a lot of words - the words aren’t difficult to memorize, at least for me! I’m actually learning about 10 languages at the same time, including Dutch / Norwegian / Swedish / OId Norse / German / OId English and French / Italian / Portuguese (improving my Portuguese) and now also Welsh! Celtic languages are so pretty-sounding, just like Germanic languages and most Latin languages!

      A contract? I’m not sure... But I meant, that certain words only reflect / represent me or, only reflect my protectors (or both) and, that type of words / letter combinations etc that only reflect me / my protectors / me & my protectors cannot be in someone’s name etc, and, one can change them on one’s own! Not sure if it would be a contract, but in the NWorId that type of terms / letter combinations etc are to be changed, however it is better if one changes them on one’s own! The type of word / letters include any type of big terms, including flower / plant / forest / other nature words / color / season etc related terms and astral / light / royalty / gemstone / Holiness / power etc related terms and big compIiments / special names / respectability aka reverence related terms etc (and other purity / big terms, such as pure animaIs like butterflies / bees / birds / fishes / ladybirds / snails) etc and love related terms / symbols etc and femininity related terms such as girl / maiden / lass and chick etc and certain letter combinations / symbols etc!

      It kinda makes sense, because a pretty language that sounds pretty is a joy to one’s ears / eyes, so one becomes interested in the language itself - on the other hand, if one has to learn a language that doesn’t sound pretty (such as Japanese / most languages around and similar to the languages spoken in Turkey / most languages spoken in the countries around Poland and in Greece and in Asian and African countries (except for Afrikaans, which is a very pretty language with almost only pretty words like Dutch) etc) and that doesn’t have many pretty / well-constructed words that don’t repeat the same syllable in a row, one doesn’t usually feel motivated, and most usually give up on learning the language or only learn the basics that they need so that they can order a coffee or buy food etc while living in the new country! Choosing to learn a language that is interesting is one of the most important things about language learning, and it usually makes one have an interest in the language itself (not just learning a language because one has to, because one has moved to a different country or because of one’s new job etc) and, this explains why one is usually motivated and feels interested in learning a language when the language one is learning is one of the few pretty languages! Welsh and Dutch and Norwegian etc are one of those languages one learns for their pretty sound / pretty words etc (learning for fun / as a hobby) and, these languages sound as pretty as English - they are perfect / refined / poetic-sounding languages with mostly pretty words that are so well-constructed (creating words that look pretty is an art, and very few can create pretty words aka words that look so good, where the letters are in perfect harmony, without repeating the same syllable and that have good letter combinations, and, I can create pretty and perfect words myself) and that are a joy to one’s eyes and ears!

      By the way, does anyone know the word around 4:56 after fortress of the - it sounds like preminitories or perminetories etc, but when I try googling it, it doesn’t seem to exist and I get premonitory instead! Like, I’ve never heard this word before, so I have no idea how to spell it and what word it is! Even tho I am writer level and know over 60k and up to 100k words in Modern English + Scottish dialect + Middle English combined, there are still words I have never heard before - after all, there are over 500k words to 1 million words in English, so no one knows every single word, not even me!

    Breton still has a lot of duals for body parts. deuddwrn (an daouarn - the two-hands) & (daoulagad - the two-eyes) & (an diwc'harr - the two-legs) & (an daouskouarn - the two-ears) - ysgyfarn/ear in Welsh. DORN is hand in Breton and Cornish. Welsh DWRN is fist. Cornish in between the two has both DORN and LEUV for hand. Lagadoù in Breton just means eyes in general. So deuddwrn means two-hands in Welsh. I suppose it can mean two-fists also.

    Interesting use of body parts for geographical features. I thought about the area around Llanfihangel- ar- Arth. It's a hilly area and although 'arth' isn't a body part, I wondred if if was in some way connected to the geography there?

    • @BenLlywelyn

    I wonder if there is a connection between the name for the ancient woodsmen/craftsmen - 'Bodgers' - and the word for thumb ('rule of thumb' etc) - these were people who lived in the woodlands of High Wycombe area I think in the Middle Ages, which because of this it developed into a centre for furniture making for S. England and beyond. In modern times, obvs, 'bodger' has taken on a different meaning, almost the reverse, - someone who has a lackadaisical attitude to craftsmanship.
