[ANSTHRLD] Help needed documenting a name, please

The docs for <merch Arthfael> are:



-----------------------------------

merch - 

-----------------------------------

The First Thousand Years of British Names
Part 2
by Tangwystyl verch Morgant Glasvryn
Old Welsh Names
The single best source for personal names of the Old Welsh period is probably 
the collection of charters and land-grants in the Book of Llandav. I worked 
from the group covering the 6th through 10th centuries.

At the bottom of this page, the example under "Old Welsh" uses the particle 
<merch>: Tancoystl merch Morgant Glasvryn

Arthfael -

Appendix III - 5th to 10th Century Names from Jackson LHEB
10th century 
Citation reconstructed nominative 
ARTHMAIL {Arthfael} 

-----------------------------------

So, it looks like <merch Arthfael> is doc'd for the 10th C, but we don't have 
evidence of a form of <Arthfael> in her desired time period.
