Is Welsh "P Celtic" or "Q Celtic"?

anyway I hope this helps.

Canwll I think since "canwll" is a cognate of (or related somehow to cnadle it's safe to start with the word and like a if you say "candle" [can-dəl] then drop the "d" and get [canəl]if it is then replace the schwa in "canəl" with the "oo" I really don't know if it would be [ca-nool] or [can-ool] or [can-nool] and then the only other problem I have is the the double L ("ll") from Celtic languages really doesn't have a correspondent sound in English.

Corfe is easy I think, to pronounce it take "Corvette" then drop the "ette" [corv]

I think it sound something approximately like [canool* corv]
*unsure of the double L sound
