Talk:Cynghanedd

message: I'm not an expert on the cynghanedd, so I don't feel qualified to edit the page, but I think you'll find that the difference between Croes and Traws is not as you say.  The important thing in cynghanedd is that it's the consonants around the final accented syllable of both halves of the line that are important.  Therefore if both halves end in a monosyllable, the final consonants will not agree ("Ddoe'n fud a heddiw'n fedd" - dd:n:f:(d) - dd:n:f:(dd)).  Indeed, it is a "gwall" for them to do so.  
If both halves end in a polysyllable, all the consonants in the first half that precede the final unstressed syllable must be repeated in the second half ("Adeiladwyd gan dlodi" - d:l:d:(d) - d:l:d).  
If the last word in the first half is monosyllabic, and the last word in the second half is polysyllabic, then the consonants preceding the final stressed syllable in the first half must be repeated in the second immediately preceding the final unstressed syllable in the second half ("Uchel gaer uwch y weilgi" - ch:l:g:(r) - ch:l:g).
It is a "gwall" (whatever that translates to - sorry) to end the first half with a polysyllable and the second with a monosyllable, if I remember correctly.
So, to cut to the chase, both your examples are of cynghanedd groes.  Cynghannedd traws allows for the insertion of additional consonants into the line before the repetition of consonants in the second half ("Gwylio hen mewn gwely haf" - (g:l:h - (m:n):g:l:h). It has nothing to do with consonants that follow the final stressed syllable as the page implies.
:No, what you describe is the difference between cynghanedd gytbwys and cynghanedd anghytbwys, which can be both croes and traws (and the difference between the two types is correctly described). It is true that the examples are flawed, though; I'll try and find a better one Edricson 20:06, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I actually wrote that part (together with most of the rest of the article) because there weren't any examples on Wikipedia and I thought it was sad. I'm only a dysgwr, so I'm not surprised I messed up, though. I'd like to see this page improved by someone who actually knew a lot of stuff about the subject. :) Marnanel 14:52, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the constructive discussion.  I'm sure you're correct about my corrections being mistaken.  I'm definitely no expert: just didn't think the examples given were quite correct either.  And thanks to marnanel for at least making an entry.  Perhaps someone should ask Mei Mac or one of that crowd to contribute an article?  Or the Kymro Kanol (http://kymrokanol.blogspot.com/) :)  Sorry, forgot my login. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.179.113.125 (talk) 19:08, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
