You should be a politician the way you insert your opinion but take no responsibility!

Well spotted was a typo with me typing a transposition in error!
Yes indeed it is nghalon not nhgalon! Must proof read my own posts better!
But the phonetics are still correct!

Actually, the closest to a vocation I have at the moment is linguist, and I take full responsibility for my familiarity with the rules of orthography, even of languages with which I am only vaguely familiar. However, perhaps I should have admitted that I looked up "fy nhgalon" and "fy nghalon" on Google to see how many hits I got, just to be sure.

And C is one of the easier ones!
Wales = Cymru
to Wales = i Gymru
in Wales - yn Nghymru
etc etc!

perian - "Halfling"
i-Pheriannath - "the Halflings"
Apparently Tolkien thought so too.
