The Welsh word is cwmwd, plural cymydau. Commote is the anglicised word. I'm glad to see that cantref is used on this page rather than the English eqivalent hundred. For consistency and out of respect for the language I feel that this page should be moved to Cwmwd (anybody typing "commote" in Search would still get there). The list of cwmwd names is very misleading as well and needs changing to their standard spelling (Llan Uaes = Llanfaes, Teigyl = Tegeingl, etc.) and links (and pages) provided. If nobody has any objections I propose doing that in the near future. How about a new category whilst we're at it - Medieval Welsh administrative units for instance - which could then incorporate the stuff under cantref? Any thoughts?

I agree and since its a couple of months since you suggested it and nobody has objected I'll do it now!--Cynnydd 08:26, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Re-worded the article from around cwmwd rather than commote. Moved the Domesday bit which is about some particular commotes to a seperate section. --Cynnydd 13:59, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
