Can someone source this? - Kathryn NicDhàna 20:03, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I can vouch that this is true as far as it goes, however it is also misleading. Tynged means 'destiny' (also 'fate') in modern Welsh and is in everyday use as such, i.e. its primary meaning in modern Welsh has no specific mythological context, although tynged is a recurring theme in early Welsh literature and is very similar to geis in Irish literature and mythology. If an article in a mythological context referring specifically to Welsh myth were to be written on the Welsh wikipedia it would have to be something like 'Tynged (mytholeg Gymreig)' ('Destiny (Welsh mythology)') with a seperate article for tynged (destiny) in general. Hope that answers your question, although I'm still not sure what to do with this stub. Enaidmawr (talk) 01:52, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It might cause confusion to join tynged with geis. They are similar but not identical. Sanddef —Preceding undated comment was added at 07:49, 15 January 2009 (UTC).[reply]

I don't believe tynged has the same property of being able to be lifted as does geis. Does someone have a source? 90.221.88.99 (talk) 13:27, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
