Textual relationships
Related: Mi a wumMi a wum

Medieval Welsh poem of 7 englynion, each beginning Mi a wum lle llas... (‘I have been where [...] was/were slain’). It is attested in the Black Book of Carmarthen, following Ymddiddan Gwyddno Garanhir a Gwyn ap Nudd (‘The conversation of Gwyddno Garanhir and Gwyn ap Nudd’) without a visual break. It is not entirely clear if the present piece should be regarded as a separate composition or a part of the previous conversation.
