[edit] Welsh noun for "driver"
Are you sure this is relevant? I mention this because it occurs to me that, given the history of the Welsh language, gyrrwyr might well share its history with "Gyrate", with a sense of "going around". It's just a thought, really I know nothing about it, but maybe it should be looked into. Nortonius (talk) 13:19, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Also, I just found this online, a question about evidence that Welsh [sic] was spoken in the Fens until the 11th century, which unfortunately seems to have gone unanswered! A link is given there to this unsourced statement. Frustratingly, I've just been given a book which mentions the same thing, but again gives zero evidence or citation! But it suggests a fertile area to explore for the origin of the name "Gyrwe/Gyrwas", maybe for the people themselves. Nortonius (talk) 12:55, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
