  1. Sadly, an example of a Scottish researcher incorrectly presenting 'facts' about Welsh: walls are not "known as 'clawdd' or 'cloddiau'".

    'Cloddiau', or course, is the plural form of 'clawdd'. So they are not different words for a wall.

    dry-stone wall. PhD thesis, University of Glasgow.
