Greetings from the Academy of S. Gabriel!

You asked for our help determining what form of the Welsh feminine
name <Gwenhwyvar> would be appropraite for the 5th century, and that
if no form was authentic, you asked for other suggestions that would
be appropriate for 5th-6th century Britain.

We would like to extend our apologies: We are not able to answer your
question.  The Academy has just two members who have the knowledge and
ability to answer this very detailed and technical question, and both
have been too busy for the last year to devote any time to researching
this question.  The best that we can suggest are the following two
articles:

  "The First Thousand Years of British Names"
  http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/tangwystyl/british1000/

  "Names of Women of the Brythonic North in the 5-7th Centuries"
  http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/tangwystyl/brythonic/

We are sincerely sorry that we will not be able to help you with your
original question, and hope that if you have further questions in the
future you will feel free to contact us again, at which time we may be
able to be of more assistance.

For the Academy,
-Aryanhwy merch Catmael, 15 October 2007
