Does dim to bach yn y Facintosh (and then my Welsh disolves...) when
using 'w' and 'y'.  (Meaning, in very broken Welsh, that the macintosh
doesn't have a circumflex over 'y's and 'w's, which Welsh needs.)
The Mac can cope with Irish and Scottish Gaelic though, as they only
need accent marks (really length marks) and many more 'h's than are
found in most other Western European languages.  (Unless you want to
indicate lenition with dots, but that's not really modern
orthography.)

Slainte 'is hwyl,
