"Nawr"

Translation: Now

[AnCatDubh]

What’s the difference between this and rwan?

[EllisVaughan]

Rwan is north and nawr is south.

[mizinamo]

So one dialect decided to simply read the word backwards?

It's just a funny coincidence that the letters happen to be exactly in the reverse order :)

[EllisVaughan]

I had never noticed that :). I think rwan is more celtic and nawr is related to now in english

[danieljwood]

Dw i'n meddwl fod gen y dau geiriau "nawr" a "rŵan" wreiddiau cymraeg: 'yr awr hon' < rŵan ac 'yn awr' < nawr. :)

[Lundgren8]

That’s right. It’s the same in Gaelic where nuair comes from an uair.
