Hello Again,
 
I sent off the other post and realized I left out on thing, the definition.
It is a little different than you might think.
 
Ffwlbart is Welsh for polecat, not ferret.  Welsh for ferret is ffured for
the noun and fferudu or ffureta for the verb.
 
The definitions come from Y Geiriadur Mawr, a very good Welsh<->English
dictionary.  Pronunciations are from Living Welsh by T.J.  Rhys Jones.
 
Is that more than you ever wanted to know?
 
Mererid Mair (Maggie)
