The Welsh word word “dileu”, which means “erase”, is pronounced exactly like the English word “delay”. My Welsh brain is always disappointed when I hear “delay Brexit” on an English-language programme.

The Welsh for the northern lights is “ffagl yr arth”, the bear’s firebrand.
#FolkloreThursday
The Finnish name for the northern lights “revontulet” is associated with the arctic fox. According to a folk tale, an arctic fox is running far in the north and touching the mountains with its fur, so that sparks fly off into the sky as the northern lights.

Welsh for calm weather is “arafin”, slow weather. There’s a famous cynghanedd (alliterative verse) couplet “Gwelais long ar y glas li / yn y gwyll yn ymgolli” - I saw a ship on the blue sea, into the twilight leaving. (Remember that w and y are vowels).
