Word of the day: DIHAREB geiriadur.ac.uk/gpc/gpc.html... 'proverb’. Collecting proverbs was very popular in the Renaissance era. This is a page from "Diarhebion Cymraeg", a collection which William Salesbury published around 1575. What is your favourite Welsh proverb?

Gair y dydd: DIHAREB geiriadur.ac.uk/gpc/gpc.html..., sef dywediad yn datgan doethineb mewn modd cryno a chofiadwy. Roedd bri mawr ar gasglu diarhebion yn oes y Dadeni: dyma ddalen o’r llyfr “Diarhebion Cymraeg”, a gyhoeddodd William Salesbury tua 1575. Beth yw eich hoff ddihareb chi?
