The "standard" Welsh of the 1588 bible
Verbal noun as 'equivalent' of finite verb in Welsh
In the Brythonic languages—in Welsh more commonly than in Cornish and Breton—a construction is encountered in which the verbal noun (a more satisfactory term than ‘infinitive’) performs the function of a finite verb.

Some writers avoi…

On the Gender of Early English Loanwords in Welsh
Synchronic Method and Welsh Consonantism
Some Problems of Celtic Vocabulary
In his valuable article on the Indo-European vowels in Albanian (Lg. 26.379–88), Stuart A. Mann recommends a principle of etymological method that is characterized by admirable, not to say Utopian, rigor. He considers ‘complete correspondence of whole words’ (379) to be the only sure evidence on which to base etymology, and regards this as an improvement upon ‘continental neo-grammarian practice’ (379 fn. 2).
