paramaethu

Welsh

Etymology

From para (“to continue, to last”) +‎ maethu (“to nourish, to nuture”).

Pronunciation

• (North Wales) IPA^(key): /ˌparaˈmeɨ̯θɨ̞/
• (South Wales) IPA^(key): /ˌparaˈmei̯θi/
• Rhymes: -eɨ̯θɨ̞

Verb

paramaethu (first-person singular present paramaethaf)

1. to practise permaculture

Usage notes

As with all Welsh verbnouns, this may be used as a non-count masculine noun to express the action associated with the verbal meaning, and so in this instance is also the best translation for the English noun "permaculture".
