You have me stumped with these.
First one is something to do with putting a cat in the microwave.


Is there a cat in the microwave oven? (with the compulsory affirmative
and negative responses conjucated down about twenty tenses)

Second is about your father insisting that you brush your teeth? (A
guess)


Grandfather has lost his false teeth.

Admittedly we didn't really aim for a 'steddfod chair in the CSE group.

So I wasn't that far out. My dictionary has tad-cu and henlad for
grandfather. Gosod seems to have a variety of meanings according to context
and dannedd/danedd seems to have two Ns (or does it?)
