    If this (above) were in Irish, i'd have recognized a few words.
    and i'm not seeing ANY resemblance to Irish.

    That’s because it’s Welsh, and they are from different branches of Celtic, probably as different as English and Danish, or even English
    and French.

    are Agor and Agus cognates?
    No! https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/agor

    but the above text was a complete gibberish to me, and i first fed it to
    a Rot13 converter (LOL!).

    The spelling is stranger than the actual language. For example, note
    that w and y are used as vowels. C is always k, f is v, ff is f.

    (ffi only confusing is that there are two types of 'y' - pronounced
    short 'u' and 'short 'i'

    Ynysybwl~=unis-u-bool


    --- Next time, when i see a text in this language,
    i'd recognize [yr] and maybe [daeth] and E-bost ,

    bod yn, bod y

    The whole picture of the language is very peculiar, and easy to
    recognize at first glance, once you’ve seen it a few times.

    Note that the Hen is attempting to troll xpost into news:soc.culture.irish
    (or is genuinely ignorant).
    As you say there are some similarities but also a lot of differences
    between P-Celtic and Q-Celtic - it could have looked it up

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtic_languages#Classification




    also from the "Brifysgol Abertawe."
    it's pshurely clearly from West Wales, not Ireland.

    Google translate would have immediately stopped it from this nonsense, but
    no.
