lol (and yes I understood it).

In North Wales a ladder is an "ysdol" not an "ysgol".

I don't know why.

PS I'm not talking about Lizardish.

I always thought there was a difference between welch and welsh?

But I wouldn't want to argue the point.

Isn't that a bit confusing, like?

Both words are "ysgol".

So ladder skool is "ysgol ysgol" or some such.

If your local authority divorced your school and then remarried another school, it could get very confusing.

That's actually cleared up a mystery that's faintly bugged me for the past 5 years: why does the 'Y' on the little ones Welsh alphabet freize say Ysgol and have a picture of a ladder.

Top work, zeity!

Also some words the tense of that word changes depending on the context, but the word itself doesn't
