    so the a is skipped since "bara" ends with a?

      This is just a guess, but maybe "menyn" can also be used as an adjective, like "chocolate" in "chocolate pancakes", so you get "bread with butter", "buttered bread".

            I'm confused by the missing "a" as well.

              You don't say "Bara a menyn"?

                It seems menyn is an adjective in this context.
