Ar wefan Côr Coleg y Brenin, Caergrawnt, wrth adrodd ei hanes, dywedir
“When Henry VI founded King’s College in 1441, it was his intention that a choir would provide music for the daily offices and celebrations of the Mass. The College Statutes of 1453 stipulate that the College would consist of a Provost, seventy fellows and scholars, and a choir composed of ten secular chaplains, six stipendiary lay clerks (or ‘singing-men’) and sixteen choristers.
Henry VI specified that the choristers were to be poor boys, of strong constitution and of ‘honest conversation’.”
Felly byddai ‘bechgyn y côr’ yn iawn am ‘choristers’ neu ‘singing boys’ a ‘dynion y côr’ am ‘singing men’, siawns.

Fyddai’n well defnyddio ‘Bechgyn y côr’ a ‘Dynion y côr’?
