This is a list of the 158 Marilyns in Wales. It was originally published in ''The Relative Hills of Britain'' by Alan Dawson, and is one of several popular lists of hills that include Wales. In the parent column, the prominence parent is used, as opposed to any other definition of 'parent'. The prominence parent of peak A can be found by dividing the island or region in question into territories, by tracing the runoff from the key col of every peak that is higher than peak A. The parent is the peak whose territory peak A resides in. Note; In these tables H stands for height and RH stands for relative height. All measurements are in metres. ==Pronunciation== To aid understanding of how the Welsh hills' names should be spoken, the table gives a basic but workable guide to their pronunciation by English speakers (but not for hills where the name is already in English or the spelling has been Anglicised). The transcriptions are generally self-explanatory, but a few clarifications are inevitable. See also Pronunciation of Welsh. *dh represents a soft th, as in then. *(hl) represents the 'Welsh ll', like an h and an l said together. *(hr) is similar but with an r. * ə represents the schwa, as in butt''er'' or ''a''bove. Watch out for this symbol and pronounce it with an ə sound. * oo represents the short oo in ''foot''. Watch out for this one. * kh represents the hard ch sound as in Scottish ''loch''. * ''ow'' rhymes with English c''ow'', and likewise ''owr'' rhymes with English ''hour''. *When vowels are stated followed by an apostrophe at the end of words, this is an indication that they should be kept short, as in the French 'ca va', and similarly with e and i. *Finally, 'iw' at the end of a word should be read literally as a short i followed by a w sound. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Marilyns in Wales」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
