Phonology and Accidence.
The first draft of this book was written in 1899. Morris intended it to be a descriptive grammar of Modern Welsh with special reference to the earlier period. Late modern welsh is more artificial and somewhat removed from the spoken language, owing largely to the influence of false etymological theories. Morris had in mind the ordinary writer of the language, to whom a clear idea of the literary tradition is at least equally important.
This ed. 1970. Hardcover.
