Shapely Hill ?

What does Moel Siabod mean ? In particular, the Siabod part. Most of the guide books I've seen have it as Bare hill of the Abbot, but I have seen Shapely (bare) hill as well. Can anyone throw some more light on this ?

It means Barren Hill.

I'll ask some people next time I'm there. If it helps to find a translation, I have a feeling that the i is sometimes spelt with a ^

Moel implies both barrenness and hillness (Mynydd means hill, Moel means a hill with no trees on) so possible Siabod means abbot although the welsh speakers I've asked didn't know what it means. --Kick the cat 22:30, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image of Snowdon

Isn't it a bit confusing having the image of Snowdon on the page about Moel Siabod? I realise why it's there - because it has pont-y-bala on it - but still... --Kick the cat 17:47, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just removed the offending image as it's now showing up on google earth as a pic of moel siabod when it's not. Tres confusing... --Kick the cat 22:28, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
