N.B.
Parts I-XLVII are no longer available. However the individual parts listed below
are available from the Dictionary Staff in Aberystwyth (payment must be by cheque
or cash only) and most parts are often available second-hand (one of the best online sources is ABE).
Binding cases were available from the
Press, your local bookseller, or gwales.com (see this
page for suppliers) for each volume, but they have now been discontinued.
Some may still be available for a short time. If you wish to bind your parts,
you may find it is worth considering using the latest copies of the preliminary
pages which are available for each volume as they contain, for instance, the latest
lists of abbreviations. These are available below as PDF files by clicking on the
links below. They should if possible be printed 'duplex' (i.e. on both sides of the paper).
N.B. The University of Wales Press cannot offer a binding service.
The appropriate binding cases should be bought, and arrangements made with your choice of bindery.
AILBEINTIO PONT Y BORTH? - Y Geiriadur a'r Gymraeg
The lexicographer’s work, like painting the Forth Bridge, is an endless task.
In this lecture Gareth A. Bevan discusses some of the reasons why dictionaries need
to be constantly revised to include
new words and idioms, and outlines the changes
to the Welsh language in the days of the Internet, e-mail, text messaging and blogs.

'To write a Dictionary with all the
care, attention, deliberation and study, with which it ought to be written,
will ever be found to be a toilsome - a Herculean task ... To be convinced
of the fatigue, indispensible toil, and even drudgery of Dictionary writing,
let the man of letters attempt a dozen articles under any part of the Alphabet,
and he will need no further conviction.' -- John Walters, An English-Welsh
Dictionary, 1794, viii.
