42.   Thomas Parry moved a couplet from the previous poem, 26.43–44, to this location. There is no basis for moving the couplet, and so it is kept in its original location in no. 26.

48. Dyddgu    the object of poems 86–92.

50. Gweirful    Gruffudd Gryg's girlfriend, cf. 29.1. There are no references to her in Gruffudd Gryg's poetry, but Gweirful from Gwynedd is referred to in another of Dafydd ap Gwilym's poems, 144.44.

66. Rhys Meigen    A poet to whom Dafydd wrote a cruel statirical ode (no. 31). According to tradition, Rhys dropped down dead after Dafydd had performed the poem to him. It is said that Dafydd was responding to an englyn by Rhys claiming that he had had sexual intercourse with Dafydd's mother, but the tale does not appear to have served as a warning to the debating poets: in the final two poems, both Dafydd and Gruffudd claim to have had sexual relations with the other's mother, which resulted in conceiving the other poet.
