Final -t disappeared from the 3pl. of all tenses and conjugated prepositions at an early date and the auxiliary pronouns hwy, hwythau developed as nhw, nhwythau. Final -t never occurs in natural speech; the inclusion of final -t is a characteristic of standard literary Welsh. By default the dictionary expects you to enter a Welsh word and to search for the English equivalent. If you are entering an English word then you need to change the first box labeled "Translate from" to "English-Welsh". The dictionary will then search for the Welsh equivalent. Dictionaries do not normally have inflected forms of verbs as headwords. Your search is likely to be more fruitful if you search for a verb Search Term

In A Dictionary of the Welsh Language, Pughe lists the word ‘trawsrywiad’ (transexion). It is likely that this is the origin of the word’s Welsh translation. Equally as archaic is the English term upon which it is based- that word being transexion. It is an obscure word which refers to a ‘change of sex’, usually animal, in which the presumed sex of an animal turned out to be incorrect and the caretakers of it believing that it had spontaneously changed sex. The term ‘trawsryw’ (cross-breed) is also listed by Pughe, though this word usually refers to a cross-breed of animal (such as a zorse or a liger). The superficial similarity of the ‘trawsryw’ to ‘trawsrywiad’ bears mentioning, however, to prevent it from being conflated with the modern-day idea of transness. ‘Trawsrywiad’ is also mentioned separately in 1858 by Daniel Silvan Evans in An English and Welsh Dictionary. Idem, Geiriadur Gomer i’r Ifanc (Llandysul, 1994) (excellent defining Welsh-Welsh dictionary with minimum English equivalents. Not just for the young!). King, Gareth, Modern Welsh: A Comprehensive Grammar (London and New York, 1993) (a grammar of South-Western Welsh). THE DICTIONARY IS A VAST LEXICAL RESOURCE AND SHOULD YOU SEARCH FOR AN ITEM WHICH IS LIKELY TO BE INCLUDED IN AN EXTREMELY LARGE NUMBER OF RESULTS, THEN THE SEARCH WILL TAKE TOO LONG AND MAY NOT BE SATISFACTORY. EXAMPLES OF THIS WOULD BE ATTEMPTING TO TRANSLATE TERMS CONTAINING A SINGLE LETTER OR A VERY COMMON CLUSTER, FOR EXAMPLE 'aeth' IN WELSH WORDS OR 'ed' IN ENGLISH WORDS. - We therefore recommend that, if you wish to search for a part of a word or phrase, you include as many letters as possible and, if possible, restrict the search to a particular part of speech using the 'Nature of Terms to search' control.
