- Mabinogi
- The legends called "The Four Branches of the Mabinogi" are known by scholars to have originated in Ireland. They contain many names of persons and places which are Irish words written PHONETICALLY in Middle Welsh. 'Mabinogi' is the fusion of three Irish words written phonetically. These are maoithe binn óige. To a listening scribe they sound like 'Mway-bin-o-ge', and hence one gets the Middle Welsh form 'Mabinogi'. The translation is "The sweet (sounding) anguish of youth". [In particular 'maoth aimsear' means 'tender time' or 'youth'.]
