Well, I hope you more or less agreed with my answers .. though, as I said earlier, it's possible that other patterns, sequences, similarities etc could be used to generate perfectly sensible alternative solutions..
And after all that angst and bile, here's Catatonia and Gyda Gwen ... hyfryd !
Fe Oedd Y Cyntaf I Basio'r Pyst
Ni Roedd O'n Hawdd Yn Hollol Naturiol
Roedd Rhai Yn Ei Alw O'n Ffôl
Ond Doedd Ystyried Byth Yn Dal O Nôl
Nid Du A Gwyn, On Hollol Lligwar
Ond O Mae'n Ddrwg Gen I
Wnest Ti Ddim Ei Weld O
Ag Mae'n Chwith Gen I
Wnath O Ddim Rhagweld O
'deimlo Ei Hyn Yn Noeth
Ymlith Llif O Syniadau Doeth
Roedd Rhaid Fo Fod Yn Unigolyn
Diddanwch Mewn Pellder Oer
Yn Ei Fywyd Di-ffrwyth Ddi-glod
Mi Awn Fel Hyn, Heb Unrhyw Ystyried
Ond O Mae'n Ddrwg Gen I
Wnest Ti Ddim Ei Weld O
Ag Mae'n Chwith Gen I
Wnath O Ddim Rhagweld O
