	~~The~~ Welsh ~~have a predilection for calling things~~ names ~~unpronounceable by~~ the ~~rest of the world~~, and ~~for using~~ -y- in the middle. One such place is Betws-y-Coed~~.

Welsh names often appear difficult to pronounce to non-Welsh-speakers, as the Welsh alphabet has many more vowels than other languages that use Latin characters. As such, many place names appear incomprehensible to outsiders, and often include a -y- in the middle. One such place is Betws-y-Coed.

	And a panty girdle in reality is a follow-on to the original girdles. Constructed of elasticized fabric and sometimes fastened with hook and eye closures, the modern girdle is designed to enhance a woman's figure. Most open-bottom girdles extend from the waist to the upper thighs. However, in the 1960s, these models fell from favor and were to a great extent replaced by the panty girdle. The panty girdle resembles a tight pair of athletic shorts. Both models of girdles usually include suspender clips to hold up stockings. Most adolescent males will have given into temptation and leafed through Mum or Auntie's mail-order catalogue, given uninterrupted opportunity, for the twenty or thirty pages devoted to women's underwear, and witnessed the paradox, ghettoed away at the end of Ladies' Lingerie, of relatively young attractive women wearing completely unsexy underwear designed for women thirty years older with different figures.

			{{CDA}} resolves this problem. The river [[Llwk-Yu]] (see note on spelling) runs through the town and the recently expanded port serves both river barges and shipping to and from the Circle Sea and Sto Plains ports. On the world map, Llamedos is seen to be a long relatively narrow country with a coastal strip, just hubwards of [[Chimeria]], with [[Hergen]] to the rimwards-by-turnwise of both. [[Koom Valley]] and the beginnings of the settled countries leading down to [[Quirm]]and Ankh-Morpork are to the hubwards-by-widdershins.

The Welsh have a predilection for calling things names unpronounceable by the rest of the world, and for using -y- in the middle. One such place is Betws-y-Coed. Others include Blaen Y Pant and, my favorite, Pont y Pant. Rhosllanerchrugog, near Wrecsam, is one that not even locals are sure about, and is generally shortened to just ''Rhos''.

And a panty girdle in reality is a follow-on to the original girdles. Constructed of elasticized fabric and sometimes fastened with hook and eye closures, the modern girdle is designed to enhance a woman's figure. Most open-bottom girdles extend from the waist to the upper thighs. However, in the 1960s, these models fell from favor and were to a great extent replaced by the panty girdle.
