[Spellyans] telling the time

[A. J. Trim]

Perhaps "two o'clock" should be "on the bell of two" = war glogh dew, or "two on a bell" = dew war glogh. This second option would be pronounced as though dew ar glogh. I'm sorry, I have no evidence for this but it would explain the mutation.


Regards,

Andrew J. Trim

Why not a'n clogh? Clogh is masculine, it seems.

   If one preferred to use a calque on the Welsh phrase a’n glogh may be better.
