The Cornish prefix Pen- means "son of" in names, I thought. --Wetman 21:41, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Generalissimo of the Britons

According to Encarta, the Pendragon was the supreme war commander-in-chief of the ancient Britons fr Welsh "pen" head" + dragon "military standard". It is certainly used this way.

[edit] Dota-Allstar forum?

Is there a good reason why the screen name of someone on some website should be mentioned here? If no one can explain why it should be here, I'll remove it.

My thoughts exactly. Yanking it. Alvis 15:42, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Origin of Pendragon

Now, in Old Welsh pen is "head" or "chief". Dragon means "commander", but draig means "dragon". Now, was the original Old Welsh Gwthyr Pen Dragon or Gwthyr Pen Draig? --Narfil Palùrfalas 14:21, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
