Is there a book/website that lists recorded Old Welsh personal names (and ideally suggests etymologies for them as well)? #medievaltwitter

This may help ;) https://www.llgc.org.uk/en/discover/digital-gallery/printed-material/a-welsh-classical-dictionary/ … Also Bromwich's Trioedd Ynys Prydein: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=K2euBwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false … :)

(Though beware, medieval Welsh material has many traps for unwary &c! Especially re: people who supposedly lived in the early medieval era…)

This is all so useful! So my next Q is did OW do metathesis? Eg. is deuterotheme of Rhydderch same el. as monothematic Drych?

Some examples come to mind (e.g. Urddawl prob reflecting Uthrawl, Arthwys/Athrwys), but don't think that's one...

Care to hazard a guess at what -derch might represent in this case? (It's not crucial for what I'm writing bc of Drych, just intrigued now!)
