Could it be possible to change the article's main name to "Dylan Ail Dôn" with the to bach above the a? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.108.132.244 ( talk) 03:14, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

You added "sea in Welsh" to this article. Sea doesn't sound like a Welsh word. Maybe you meant Dylan Eil Ton is sea in English but that clearly isn't true either. I'm confused. Joe Llywelyn Griffith Blakesley talk contrib 18:27, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
I am a native Welsh speaker, and I don't need a dictionary. Llanw means "rising/high tide", and I have changed the etymology accordingly. I have also corrected the name of Taliesin's eulogy for Dylan, and the name "Dylan Eil Don" itself, as "Eil Ton" does not conform with the Modern Welsh spelling of this name (as found in the Modern Welsh version of Y Mabinogion, updated by Rhiannon and Dafydd Ifans and published by Gwasg Gomer in 1980). The title therefore is antiquated and orphographically incorrect, and should be changed to "Dylan Eil Don" PS because of the grammatical law of mutation in Welsh, DY + LLANW becomes DY LANW
Ive changed the explanation of Dylan's name to:
("great tide", from the prefix dy-, "great", and llanw, "tide")
Ive done this because dy lanw written as two words means "Thy (your) tide" Sanddef 21:57, 8 February 2007 (UTC)Sanddef
I suggest returning the meaning to "great tide" or similar. There is a reference in the article to "dy" meaning "thy" rather than "great," but indeed the University of Wales Dictionary does have an entry for "dy-" (#1 of that spelling) meaning 'great,' 'frequent,' or similar, and "dylanw" is said to be derived from "dy-(1)" + "llanw." Please have a look at the dictionary's website to corroborate. --user in Silver Spring, Md., U.S.A., 2 December 2014 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.59.120.106 ( talk) 18:24, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
