English: If I could come in first, perhaps, in terms of the local element, I think one of the important things for us all to recognise here is that there's huge interest in place names, and that isn't unique to Wales; it's something that people take an interest in in terms of the history of names in the area where they live. That is something that we should all respect, I think. What I would like to say is that I know that Eleri, and Manon who also works in the team, do work very hard in co-ordinating all of this. As she has said already, we don't work from a distance; we work with local authorities. But it's the role of the local authority mainly to deal with their town and community councils or with groups in the area, or even individuals who are very interested and have information that they can contribute to the process. But I think our expertise is in research into the historic place names. And I think we can take examples of good practice from academia just by thinking of some individuals who have contributed to Welsh life over decades in this area. Professor Bedwyr Lewis Jones was an excellent example of an academic who got out and spoke to communities, he had a column in the Western Mail, he had a radio programme, and those columns that I mentioned have been translated into English and the title is the 'Place-Name Detective'. He took delight in combining the historical and the local and working with people, and I think that's the spirit of the approach that we want to adopt. But I think the conflict perhaps arises from the fact that there is more than one form in use, and sometimes that is entirely appropriate, there are reasons as to why there is more than one form of a particular name. What I wouldn't want to see is conflict arising because there are problems with the way in which things are done here in Wales, that there are deficiencies in the infrastructure and arrangements and confusion. Perhaps people can work very hard to find that standardised form, but because there is uncertainty as to what we should put in the gazeteer, whose responsibility is it to share it with the Post Office, for example, that uncertainty can lead to conflict and, the hard work done by so many people, it would mean that it's done in vain. I think Eleri has some examples of some things that can go wrong. I don't know if that would help the committee.
Welsh: Os gallaf i ddod i mewn yn gyntaf, efallai, o safbwynt yr elfen leol, dwi'n meddwl mai un o'r pethau pwysig i ni i gyd gydnabod yn fan hyn ydy bod yna lot fawr o ddiddordeb mewn enw lle, a dydy hwnna ddim yn unigryw i Gymru; mae o jest yn rhywbeth mae pobl yn ymddiddori ynddo, hanes yr enw yn yr ardal lle maen nhw'n byw. Mae hwnna'n rhywbeth hanfodol inni i gyd ei barchu, dwi'n meddwl. Beth y buaswn i'n licio'i ddweud ydy fy mod i'n gwybod bod Eleri, a Manon hefyd sy'n gweithio yn y tîm, yn gweithio'n galed iawn yn cydlynu. Fel mae hi wedi dweud yn barod, dŷn ni ddim yn gosod nac yn gweithio o bell; rŷn ni'n gweithio efo awdurdodau lleol. Ond dwi'n meddwl mai rôl yr awdurdod lleol yn bennaf ydy ymwneud efo'u cynghorau tref a chymuned neu efo grwpiau yn yr ardal, neu hyd yn oed unigolion sydd â diddordeb mawr a gwybodaeth y gallan nhw gyfrannu at y broses. Ond ymchwil dwi'n meddwl rŷn ni'n arbenigo ynddo i'r enwau hanesyddol. A dwi'n meddwl gallwn ni gymryd enghreifftiau o arfer da o'r ochr academaidd drwy jest meddwl am rai unigolion sydd wedi cyfrannu dros ddegawdau i fywyd Cymru yn y maes yma. Roedd yr Athro Bedwyr Lewis Jones yn enghraifft wych o academydd a oedd yn mynd allan i siarad efo cymunedau ac roedd ganddo fe raglen radio a cholofn yn y Western Mail, ac mae'r colofnau yna wedi'u cyfieithu i'r Saesneg - dwi'n meddwl mai 'Place-Name Detective' ydy'r enw erbyn hyn. Ond roedd o'n ymhyfrydu yn cyfuno'r hanesyddol a'r lleol a gweithio efo pobl, a dwi'n meddwl mai dyna ysbryd y ffordd rŷn ni eisiau gweithio. Ond dwi'n meddwl bod y gwrthdaro efallai yn codi o'r ffaith bod yna fwy nag un ffurf, ac weithiau mae hynny'n hollol iawn, mae yna resymau pam mae yna fwy nag un ffurf. Beth fuaswn i ddim yn licio ydy bod y gwrthdaro'n codi oherwydd bod yna broblemau efo'r ffordd mae pethau'n cael ei wneud yng Nghymru, bod diffygion yn yr isadeiledd, bod diffygion yn y trefniadau a bod yna ddryswch. Efallai fod pobl yn gallu gweithio'n galed iawn i gael ffurf safonol, ond oherwydd bod ansicrwydd ynglŷn â beth y dylen ni ei roi yn y gazeteer, pwy sy'n gyfrifol, wedyn, am eu rhannu nhw efo'r Swyddfa'r Post, oherwydd yr ansicrwydd yna, mae hwnna'n creu gwrthdaro, a, rili, yn gwneud holl waith caled gwahanol bobl yn ofer achos bod yna ddryswch. Dwi'n meddwl bod gan Eleri nifer o enghreifftiau o'r math o bethau sy'n mynd o chwith. Dwi ddim yn gwybod a fuasai hynny o help i'r pwyllgor.
