Crwths

/ˈkruːðz/ noun

Definition

Plural of crwth; multiple Welsh stringed instruments or players of the crwth.

Etymology

From Welsh 'crwth' plus English plural '-s,' showing mixed Welsh-English pluralization since the word is used in English contexts.

Kelly Says

When Welsh words enter English, speakers add English plurals rather than Welsh ones—you say 'crwths' not 'crythau,' showing how English assimilates foreign words by applying its own grammar rules.
