Ten Welsh words have been added to the Oxford English Dictionary[/caption]“Calennig”, a New Year’s Day gift, and “Iechyd da” — for good health as well as a popular drinking toast — also make the cut.
As does “Ych i fi” for disgusting — for the times when the sglods and cawl are not up to scratch.
The 414,825-word OED, which makes additions every quarter, said its updates reflect trends and changes in word usage.
A spokesman said: “The deep-rooted influence of this Celtic language on . . . everyday speech of people in Wales is evident in the many words and phrases that English has borrowed from it.”
On hearing of the new words allowed in Scrabble, one Welsh speaker said: “We’ve come a long way!
“I chuckled on reading ‘sglods’. It’s slang.
“I’m not sure any Welsh speaker over the age of 75 would understand it!”
