Nudd: NÜÐ, possibly NIÐ (Ð is pronouned as "th" in "leather")
Welsh: modern "fog" or "mist"
Derived from the god
Nodens; equivalent to the Irish
Nuada. Sometimes called
Lludd or
Lludd Llaw Ereint.*
Son of Don and Beli, a king of Britain in legend. His sons are Gwyn ap Nudd, Edern ap Nudd, Nwyfre, Avarwy, and Afleth; a possible daughter is Creiddylad/Cordelia.
*I am of the contention that Lludd is a confusion of the gods Nudd and Llyr. My reasoning is that the roles of the gods of the Children of Don and of the Children of Llyr overlap, and that a certain amount of confluence may have occured. For instance, in some legends, Creiddylad/Cordelia is said to be the daughter of Lludd Llaw Ereint, and in some the daughter of Llyr/Lear; Gwyn ap Nudd is said to be the son of Nudd and the son of Lludd.
