Welsh word of the day

Today's word:

Cawrfil

Meaning "elephant" or "huge animal"

Thanks to Ken Owens and Iaith ar Daith for that one. I agree with the Sheriff, "Cawrfil" is a more interesting word than "Eliffant". Although I do like "Oliffant", which is a great word anyway but even more so because it reminds me of Samwise Gamgee, who really wanted to see an Oliphaunt.

>Meaning "elephant" or "huge animal"

I guess it could mean Mastodon then.

@AngharadHafod @iuanto
Dw i wedi gweld pobl yma yn siarad yng Ngwyddeleg yr Alban am 'Mastodaoine' (pobl ar Mastodon, Mastodynion) ond efallai byddai Cawrfilwyr yn well yn y Gymraeg...

I've seen Scots Gaelic users refer to people on here as Mastodaoine (≈ Mastodynion), but perhaps the Welsh should be Cawrfilwyr?

@tortipede @AngharadHafod dwi'n hoffi Cawrfilwyr, mae'n gair iawn. Efallai, hashnod newydd?

I like Cawrfilwyr, it's a good word. A new hashtag, perhaps?

@iuanto @tortipede felly bydd neb yn anghofio'r gair !

Then no one will forget the word !
