Grooms, Chris, The giants of Wales: Cewri Cymru, Welsh Studies, 10, Lewiston: Edwin Mellen Press, 1993.
abstract:
A collection and discussion of the literary, place-name and archaeological materials concerning giants in Wales and the Marches, the text includes three basic registers: 1) tales and materials about place-names containing Welsh cawr or cewri, or English giant; 2) tales and materials for place-names with associated giant traditions; 3) tales and material associated with personal names of giants. The preface includes a discussion of the linguistic, inscriptional and literary materials of Gaulish cavar and a description of the Welsh materials. There is also a new text and translation of Sion Dafydd Rhys's 34 folio chapter on giants from his 16th-century prose defence of Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia. National Grid and Cantref/Shire cross-indexes to all primary and secondary place-names in the study have been provided, and a Stith Thompson motif-index for Welsh giants. There is also an additional appendix to the Gaulish materials, and a full list of abbreviations, bibliography, and index.

abstract:
[FR] Quelques sources jusque ici négligées pour la phonologie du Moyen-Gallois.
L’article met en valeur l’étude des noms propres gallois dans les rôles de la fin du XIIIe et du début du XIVe s., comme la Survey of the Honour of Denbigh, et dans les listes de subsides, comme le Merioneth Lay Subsidy Roll, et la contribution que ces documents peuvent fournir à notre connaissance de la phonologie du moyen-gallois. Sont discutés à la fois les avantages, inconvénients et difficultés trouvées dans l’interprétation de ces documents ; quelques exemples spécifiques sont examinés en détail.

[EN] The paper considers the value of studying the Welsh names in the late 13th and early 14th century surveys, such as the Survey of the Honour of Denbigh, and subsidy rolls, such as the Merioneth Lay Subsidy Roll, and the contribution they can make to our understanding of Middle Welsh phonology. Both the advantages, disadvantages, and difficulties in interpreting these sources will be discussed and specific examples will be examined in detail.

Poppe, Erich, “Latin grammatical categories in the vernacular: the case of declension in Welsh”, Historiographia Linguistica 18:2–3 (1991): 269–280.
abstract:
The grammatical category 'declension' cannot be applied to Welsh substantive nouns since they have one form only for the singular and the plural respectively. But some Welsh grammarians of the 16th and 17th centuries tried to use this category to classify substantive nouns by proposing new definitions, based on the system of plural formation (Robert 1567) or on the system of initial mutations (Rhys 1592; Salesbury 1593). The latter approach formed a short-lived 'paradigm' in Welsh grammaticography with a dynamism of its own. It became divorced from the classification of nouns only and was applied to all words which undergo initial mutations (Davies 1621). The history of the definitions of declension in Welsh grammaticography is thus an instructive example of the changes grammatical categories can undergo when applied to a specific vernacular and of the creativity of the vernacular grammarians.
