    Why not darganfod or dod o hyd....ffeindio is too Anglo?

      I've never seen "Dod o hyd i" taught elsewhere. What does it mean literally?

      It doesn't make much sense literally - dod is to come o hyd is still. Come still to! Like all languages Welsh has lots of things that only work because they work

        In English you have "to come by" as in "How did you come by that?", meaning "How did you find that?". There's also "to come upon". I wonder do they bear some relation to the Welsh phrase?
