No Alexis, it's Welsh. ;-)  I don't know what it says, but I know Welsh
when I see it.  I also note the fragment "gwlad" in that snippet, so it may
have something to do with "a country" or "the country" or something like
that.  

Anybody got a Welsh-English dictionary?  Or know Welsh?  Wonder what the
title is.
