Etymology

From Welsh corgwn.

Pronunciation

Noun

corgwn

  1. plural of corgi
    • 1939: Nicholas Dickson & William Sanderson, The Border Magazine: An Illustrated Monthly, Vol. XIX (1914, January–December), p168 (Carter & Pratt)
      But I cannot discover this word in the Welsh language ; and it is probably an error for “corgwn” (plural of “corgi”), signifying “curs”.
    • 2016, Janet Vorwald Dohner, Farm Dogs
      While larger, longer corgwn with tails were found in the lowland and hill farms of central and northern Cardiganshire, in the south a shorter, lighter corgi was more common.
