cwmwl

cwmwl = cloud in Welsh

In all three Brittonic languages of the Insular Celtic family, Welsh, Breton and Cornish, the word “cloud” comes from the Latin “cumulus” (heap, pile) but only Welsh language surprises, confuses, astonishes and fascinates.

cwmwl in Welsh
koumoul in Breton
kommol in Cornish

The mystery is solved when you learn that the Welsh “w” is a vowel and it is pronounced “u:”.
