Usage notes

edit
  • The verbnoun or dictionary form of a verb, such as this entry, is employed as a masculine singular noun in Welsh to express an uncountable verbal noun. The corresponding countable noun is usually derived morphologically from the related verb.
  • Nontechnical language employs toddi to mean both "melt" and "dissolve" while technical contexts distinguish these meanings via toddi and hydoddi respectively.
