I'm giving a talk next week about secret presses in the Elizabethan period,
and one of the operations I'll be discussing is the "Rhiwledyn" press, a
Catholic press hidden in a seaside cave in Wales, ca. 1587. I've just
realized that this talk requires me to say the word "Rhiwledyn" aloud. I
*think* the 'iw' is pronounced as if 'iu': but any advice from the experts on
the list would be much appreciated.
