12 Myned -- 'To Go'

12.1 There is a close similarity between gwneuthur and myned, except for the verbal noun, which obviously is "suppletive" (comes from a different system). Here are the indicative forms in Pwyll and Branwen. (GMW 132ff)

Present	af	--	a	:	awn	--	--
Imperfect	--	--	--	:	--	--	eint
Preterite	--	--	aeth	:	--	--	aethont / aethant

The verb comes from the base *ag, as in Latin ago -- 'to drive, move forcefully'.

12.2

A mifi a af i'th le di.
A mifi a af rhag y brenin.
Ac ar hynny y marchawg a aeth at Bwyll.
Ac ar hynny i ymolchi ydd aethant.
Pan fu amser cymryd hun, i gyscu ydd aethant.
A'i wreig a aeth at y brenin.
Ygydag ydd aethant yn y gwely, ymchwelud ei wyneb at yr erchwyn.
Amser oedd i fyned i gyscu, ac i gysgu ydd aethant, ef a'r frenhines.
A daw yn ei fryd ac yn ei feddwl fyned i hela.
Nid a oddyno heb un o'r deupeth . . . (He does not go from there without one of two things . . .)
Ni a awn i benn yr orsedd. (the top of the hill)

Notes:

ygydag as a preposition would mean 'with'; here, as a conjunction, it means 'as soon as'. Take care of gwely: here it is the noun 'bed', but it can also be the verb 'you see'.
'Going to hunting comes in his mind and in his thought' -- He has/gets the idea of . . . .

12.3 Sentence 10 in the last section produces yet another meaning of the letter a. We can make a list:

'And', 'with'. (These are originally the same word.) A'i wreig can mean and his wife or with his wife.
The direct preverbal particle = the relative pronoun.
The vocative: a unben! -- Lord!'
'Goes': nid a oddyno -- he does not go from there.

And we can add yet another use, as a particle starting a question:

A ddywedy di i mi dim o'th negesseu? -- Will you tell me anything of your errands?
