CULHWCH. Welsh
Arthurian.
In the story of Culhwch and Olwen, this is the name of a
cousin to King Arthur, meaning "lean pig."
... It is or was a custom on
All Saints' day styled the Kalends of Winter, for persons to approach
the coelcerth or omen-fire and fling a stone into it; and then to fly
precipitately for fear of being caught by the hwch ddu gwta, the black
short-tailed pig, who (as they supposed) was pursuing them. The
mabinogi of Culhwch is sometimes entitled the History of Twrc
Trwyth,
and Twrc is there represented as the leader of a herd of swine; the name
Culhwch signifies the lean pig. The Ambrosian prophecies,
designate Arthur as the wild boar of Cornwall;...
