+Weddish words are well-defined by historical epochs.  From their inception to 1066, the Wedds were warriors, and then farmers.  Agrarian words and grammatical words are of Germanic origin, and most illustrate that Weddish came from Old Frisian, though a few look more like Old English.  Also, some Welsh words entered in this time, including some Latin words which where already in Old Welsh.
+Next, Biblical and religious words came from Hebrew and related languages.  These were the words of the ruling class, the educated, and the elite.  The end of Jewish dominance may have come in 1290, but new words were still being coined from Hebrew for some time afterwards.  Eventually, Welsh served as the conduit for outside influence until the 16th century, at which point English began to enter the scene.
