Before we move on to the answers, did you notice how many of the workplaces end in the suffix “-lann” [lahn]? \u00a0As a noun, “lann<\/strong>” can mean “land,” “ground,” or, as we see here, “building.”\u00a0 It’s a distant cousin of the Welsh word that some of you may recognize, “llan<\/em>,” which these days is mostly used for “church” or “enclosure,” as in the place names “Llangollen<\/em>,” (famed for “The Ladies” and the “Eisteddfod Ryngwladol\u201d<\/em>), the fictional (and hybrid) place name, “Llanview” in Pennsylvania, and the renowned “<\/em>Llanfair\u00adpwllgwyn\u00adgyllgo\u00adgery\u00adchwyrn\u00addrobwll\u00adllanty\u00adsilio\u00adgogo\u00adgoch.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Here are a few more “-lann” words, by the way: beachlann, bialann, cartlann, ceanglann, tolglann, uachtarlann<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0 An dtuigeann t\u00fa iad go l\u00e9ir?\u00a0 An f\u00e9idir leat B\u00e9arla (n\u00f3 do theanga dh\u00fachais m\u00e1s teanga nach B\u00e9arla \u00ed do theanga dh\u00fachais) a chur orthu?\u00a0 Aistri\u00fach\u00e1in th\u00edos.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n
