   Hello   
      
   I am breton.   
   I am looking for the words or sounds used to call the cattle in Wales. I   
   thing there   
   are some words that are common in Breton and in cymraeg .   
   When I was a child, I was keeping the cows and to call them, the boys had a   
   word that is difficult to write. A noise with the lips . "Mpwrroah" or   
   "Prhoah" . Have you a similar in cymraeg ?. I remember having read a similar   
   word in a welsh dictionary. meaning "to call the cattle".   
   More of 1000 year later , may be some similar sounds are used with  the   
   bretons of the two sides of the sea !   
   excuse me for my english !
