Why does the voice pronounce this word with a hard "c" . I thought that "ff" was pronounced as the English "f" I also thought that Welsh was phonetic, is this a glitch in the sound or this the correct pronunciation?
ffenestr is usually pronounced /ffenest/ these days - that is the explanation. ffenest is in one dictionary as a colloquial variant of ffenestr. It also appears in the GPC in a couple of expressions, although not on its own, so we'll add it to the allowable answers.
Note EllisV's point about the plural.
