Welsh translation

[hollins]

I have seen a Welsh motto on a pot I would like to buy from ebay. I have tried a google translation but I don't believe it.
I would be so grateful if a Welsh speaker could tell me what it really means. Thanks in advance.

Motto: Bydd haelionus Ue? bo achos

Google: EU as a generous case!

[Yorkie]

He will be on the table for a good reason (or cause).   Z**

That's what I think could be a reasonable translation, but then, I am not a Welsh speaker!

[Hugo]

I can't find a Welsh word in the dictionary starting with Ue?   Is it possible to show the pot on here?

[hollins]

Here is the photo from ebay. Unfortunately there is only part of that word showing but looking at it again do you think it begins LL?

[Hugo]

It does look like the word Lle ( place)  I'll have a look at the motto again


This should read: bydd haelionus lle bo achos.

The translation is:he/she will be generous when there is a cause

[Yorkie]

Could it be llon or llowen for happy?

Presumably a water jug so satisfy or happy could apply.

[Hugo]

I've just looked it up and modified my earlier post Yorkie

[hollins]

Oh great, that is a nice one. Thank you very much.

[Yorkie]

I Wasn't so far out then?   Another daily advancement!   ZXZ

[hollins]

I bought this pot this morning and I think it has a Welsh motto.
Could someone translate it for me please?

Diddig pawb wrth a garo

[Merddin Emrys]

A Google translation....
Contentedly Everybody loveth

No idea how accurate that is?

[Hugo]

That's near enough ME     

[hollins]

Thanks both.

My grandfather won 1st. Prize at an eisteddfod many years ago, with a hand beaten copper plaque of a 'Welsh Dragon' with the motto 'Y DDRAIG COCH DDYRY CYCHWYN '  would you give a translation please. 

[Hugo]

Hope this helps Quiggs  it's just part of a larger extract on the translation
