Geiriadur Prifysgol Cymru is the first standard historical Welsh dictionary, broadly comparable in method and scope with The Oxford English Dictionary, but midway in format between that dictionary and the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary. This vocabulary is defined in Welsh, but English equivalents are also given.
Detailed attention is given to variant forms, common collocations, and etymology.
The work is based upon a collection of some two million citation slips, amassed by voluntary readers as well as members of the Dictionary staff and still being added to.
