It also shows Manx Gaelic in the same language group as Middle Irish Gaelic and Early Modern Irish Gaelic in "late period" (1100-1600), also compatible with English/Welsh.

Provides documentation of two variants of Caerphilly from the 13th century - "Caerfily" and "Kaerfili".
The following citations are all from the Dictionary of the Place-Names of Wales by Owen & Morgan.
Bridgend: <Bryggen Eynde> 1444, <Brugeende> 1452, <Pennebont>, <Pont Newith on Ogor> 1536-9, <Brygend> 1542, <benn y bont> 1550-1600. The <Pen>/<Pont> forms are Welsh, the others are English. The town developed next to a bridge thought to have been built c. 1425.
Cardiff: <Kard'> c. 1102, <Kairdif> 1106, <Cardythe> 1555, <o gaer dydd> c. 1566. "The earlier form was <Caerdyf> in which <-tyf> is derived from the genitive singular of the original British word which gave the river name Taf."
Caerphilly: <Kaerfili> 1271, <Kaerphilly> 1314. The <caer> may be a reference to the small Roman fort which adjoined the castle.
Glamorgan: <morcanhuc> 1136-54, Morgannoc> 1191, <Glamorgan> 1315, <Glamorgan>, <Morganok> 1322, < Morgannok> 1403.

The <aber> forms are, of course, the Welsh ones.-
