he roebuck is recognised in
the Welsh Laws; and is called one of the three cry hunts (helva ddolev.)

"Mi adaen iwrch er nas daliwyv." (Adage.)
I know a roebuck, though I may not catch him.

{197d} "Derwenydd;" Derventio, the river Derwent in Cumberland.

{197e} "Llewyn a llwyvein." It is difficult to ascertain the particular
animals which these terms respectively represent. The former might
denote a young lion, a white lion, or any beast in general to whose
eating faculties the word _llewa_ would be applicable. The latter might
signify any animal whose haunts were the elm forests, or whose property
was to _llyvu_ or to lick, as does a dog. The fox being named llwynog
from _llwyn_ a forest, and the forests in the North being chiefly of elm,
it is not unlikely but that the said animal was frequently called
_llwyvain_ in that part of the country when the Bard wrote, though it is
not known now by that name. It is remarkable that both terms also
signify certain kinds of wood. The former the herb orach, the latter the
elm.

{197f} Al. "None would escape."

{198a} "Angcyvrwng;" lit. "were he to place me without an intervening
space," that is, were he to straiten me on every side.

{198b} When any thing is taken away or used, or when any thing is done,
the owner not knowing it, or without asking his leave, it is called
_Anghyvarch_. "Anghyvarchwyr," extortioners. W. Salesbury, 1 Cor. v.

{198c} Lit. "There would not come, there would not be to me, one more
formidable."

{198d} The head of the river Clyde in Scotland.

{198e} "Veruarch." Morach Morvran is often mentioned by the poets on
account of his celebrated banquet.

"Cygleu yn Maelawr gawr vawr vuan,
A garw ddisgyr gwyr a gwyth erwan;
Ac ymgynnull, am drull, am dramwyan,
Mal y bu yn Mangor am ongyr dan;
Pan wnaeth dau deyrn uch cyrn cyvrdan,
Pan vu gyveddach Morach Morvran."

In Maelor the great, the hastening shout was heard,
And the dreadful shrieks of men with gashing wounds in pain;
And together thronging to seek a cure, round and round they strayed,
As it was in Bangor for the fire of the brunt of spears;
When over horns two princes caused discord,
While in the banquet of Morach Morvran. (Owain Cyveiliog.)

{199a} This stanza evidently refers to the same transaction as that
which is recorded in the lxxxth, though the details are somewhat
differently described.

{199b} One
