While playing with the BBC "Learn Welsh" pages, I noticed that gwddf ( neck ) actually fits the onset patten I discovered. But since "ddf" is in the coda, it means that the pattern is more likely to really be there because coda constraints are more strict then onsets.
Modern Welsh: A Comprehensive Grammar (Routledge grammars), which I'm using in my research project, gets rave reviews. As does the rest of his publications.
This grammar, a very awesome Welsh-English dictionary, and Welsh Phonology have been very helpful in my project. Especially noting that in h-less dialects, there are no voiceless r's or l's. Which would point that there isn't actually an underlying voiceless r phoneme, but merely a surface form one.
And since I rarely get to discover phonetic/phonological principles myself, this is really neat. I would normally post this on my welsh linguistics twitter, but my glee just couldn't fit into 140 characters.
