-== Using a Welsh Dictionary  ==
-If you cannot find a word in the dictionary, it may be that:
-*Your dictionary is too small.
-*The word is mutated (see below).
-*The word is a conjugated verb. For example, '''dod''' (to come) is in the dictionary, but '''daeth''' (he came) is not.
-*The word is a conjugated preposition. '''am''' (about) is in the dictionary, but '''amdani''' (about her) is not.
-*The word is a comparative or superlative adjective. '''hen''' (old) is listed, but '''hen''' (older), and '''hynaf''' (oldest) are not.
-*The word is a contraction. '''o''' (from) and '''yr''' (the) are both listed, but their contracted form '''o’r''' (from the) is not.
-*The word contains double letters such as '''ch''','''dd''', '''ll''', '''ng''', and '''rh''', which are filed after single letters. For example:
-**the word '''rhad''' (free) would come after '''ruban''' (ribbon)
-**the word '''dichell''' (treachery) would come after '''dicter''' (anger)
-**the word '''goddef''' (to bear) would come after '''godro''' (to milk)
-**the word '''gwyllt''' (wild) would come after '''gwylan''' (seagull)
-If a word you find in a dictionary does not make sense in the record’s context:
-*It may be part of a two-word preposition. '''ôl''' is a noun meaning "track." When it is combined with '''ar''' (on), the result is the preposition '''ar ôl''', meaning "after".
-*It may be part of an idiomatic expression. '''hen''' by itself means "old," but '''hen bryd''' means "high time."
-*It may be an archaic word or have changed meaning.
