Hi Dave,

Going by my hunch that all your talk about abbreviations and acronyms was
just to distract us from the truth, I'll put my money on two of the Welsh
entries:

6. [Welsh] of, as in William of Orange.

13. [Welsh] Old.

Best, Hugo

I confirm my DQ, though the definition is not quite the way
I remembered it.

For no particular reason, I'll avoid the abbreviation and acronym
possibilities and go for a couple randomly selected alternatives: 6
and 18.
