You're using "esteemed" in the archaic sense of "appraised", no doubt.

Of course. (Or maybe just in the modern sarcastic sense in which
it's followed by "not"...)

Appraise from you, is appraise indeed. Quite the inherently two-edged
saw of Androcles.
"Androcles" is of wordly interests, natheless, for bearing the same
derivation as Achille Serre's loved Patroclus: we observe "oclos", a
crowd of eyes -- for all eyes were upon them -- and pre-Celtic "path" in
equivalence with the yet more ancient "ander" (pre-Dravidian?) for
wandering. Who have eyes to see find the far-wandered blue stones of the
Henge, from Preseli to Egdon, confirm a deeper layer resonant in
ancestral memes.
(Does that count as one stone? Sorry: couldn't work Joey in.)

Careful with them Elvis Preseli references -- you'll wake up the
Welsh contingent.
(How did an antarctic-living bird get a Welsh-derived name?)

Right on the button. But the word you were looking for was "steamed".

Nice example of an error where two possible corrections produce
distinct meanings.

That produces a sense of great aukwardness: les francais couldn't see
the difference, apparently.
You did know, I'm sure, that Elfis was St David's grandfather or
something. I have little doubt that he hailed from Mynydd Preseli. A
musical nation, wrth gwrs.

I knew there was a Preseli link, but nothing more than that.

If I may be permitted to answer in English (I've got a bit of a cold),
it's not at all clear, as the great auk didn't have a white head, nor
(=BrE "and nor") did the first penguins seen by Europeans (in Namibia).
My favorite theory is that great auks were found on a Canadian island
that the Welsh called Pen Gwyn (sp?).

It's held in reserve. Think Waterloo. You ever hear of a successful
general who didn't hold a sockdolager in reserve?

Oh, no! Is that Anticosti again? (I think this may be a case for Izzy2.)
