I've never heard Clem in English! A new oneon me!!

@greatoak I don't know sorry, i copied it from a Welsh Learners page on Facebook.....if I see it again, I will try and find out! :)

@TheBeastOfBaglan @greatoak Interesting how language changes.
Seisnig (now taken to mean 'pertaining to the English' - the language is Saesneg), and Gymmraeg (2 m's). Two grammar mistakes just in the title, as it would be seen today.

@AngharadHafod @greatoak Yes....similarly it's fascinating how Brythionic diverged into Welsh & Cornish. And then Breton diverged from Welsh! (I think!?)

@TheBeastOfBaglan @greatoak I think Breton is closer to Cornish, from what I remember. The Bretons crossed the sea from Cornwall?

@AngharadHafod @greatoak ah ok....I’m not sure!

@greatoak @TheBeastOfBaglan I thought clem in Welsh was clue/idea in English, but in English I've only ever heard that phrase where clemmed meant starving. As in I'm so clemmed I could eat a horse. It's been years since I've heard it used though.

@gomez @TheBeastOfBaglan I was told this morning that it is Montgomery Cymraeg dialect. Borrowed one way or another..yes 'starving hungry'

@jaz Nos da! (hope you are joking, as that took me ages to read lol) :S

@TheBeastOfBaglan ach, meibu yw haf had tiw menni birs
