==== Usage notes ====
Note the distinct plural forms haneri cylch (“semicircles”, literally “halves of a [single] circle”) and haneri cylchoedd (“semicircles”, literally “halves of [several] circles”).
The two nouns that form this unit are in a genitive relationship so determiners generally precede the second element.

haneri dy gylch ― your semicircles (literally, “the halves of your circle”)
haneri ei gylchoedd ― his semicircles (literally, “the halves of his circles”)
