Goose, in my words

gwae : goose

The Fennas word for goose is gwae. Gwae is a rare last name. In Welsh gwae means woe (note: the Fennas word is not pronounced as the Welsh word).

How did I come up with this word? The Welsh word for goose is gwydd, the Irish word for goose is gé, and the Breton word for goose is gwaz. In addition, the Cornish word for goose is goodh or godh.
