# for your information,
a 'Cystadlaeaith' is a word meaning 'category' or 'level' and when pronounced properly it sounds a bit like 'custardlithe'. I think it loses a little in translation because I told it to the resident Welsh speaker here and she laughed.

Cystadleuaeth means competition, like a big cheese competition.

(sorry, couldn't find the Mr. Pedant gif...)

# ah.
she was struggling a bit for the definition - she said "class, like in a competition, you know, a category"... so to be fair it's me that got the wrong end of the stick.
