    Welsh

    Etymology

      From Middle Welsh arth, from Proto-Brythonic *arθ, from Proto-Celtic *artos, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ŕ̥tḱos.

      Pronunciation

      Noun

      arth m or f by sense (plural eirth)

      Usage notes

      • In the older language and the literary language, arth is masculine or feminine depending on the sex of the bear under consideration. In the modern colloquial language, however, the noun is predominantly feminine, regardless of the sex of the animal. If the sex of the animal is to be specified, the terms arthes (she-bear) and arth wryw (male bear) are used.
