Cannwyll

Cannwyll ~ Candle

Rydw i'n hoffi'r GPC (Geiriadur Prifysgol Cymru) am ei diffiniadau prosaig a ffigurol. Bydd e'n dweud wrthych chi bod cannwyll yw 'Darn silindraidd o wêr...', ond hefyd, 'am seren, haul, lloer, llusern, lamp, am oleuni, disgleirdeb, cyfarwyddyd, arweiniad, arweinydd, arwr, y pennaf, y rhagoraf ...'.  Rydw i'n mwynhau darganfod y 'cymylau o ystyron' o gwmpas geiriau. Mae'n ddiddordeb i weld y llawer o oblygiadau gair mewn ieithoedd gwahanol - mewnwelediad i ddiwylliannau gwahanol.

I like the GPC (Geiriadur Prifysgol Cymru / University of Wales Dictionary) for its prosaic and figurative definitions. it will tell you that a candle is' A cylindrical piece of wax ... ', but also, 'for a star, a sun, a moon, a lantern, a lamp, for light, brightness, direction, guidance, leader, hero, the ultimate , the best ... '. I enjoy discovering the 'clouds of meanings' around words. It is interesting to see the many implications of a word in different languages - an insight into different cultures.
