Surely Cwm rhymes with room, doom, and gloom. If not, I've been mispronouncing Hardy's The Oxen since boyhood!

Charlotte & Tim,
My mum was Welsh and she used to live in a street called 'The Cwm', which means 'valley'. It's pronounced more like 'cum', or the double 'o' in 'book', but definitely not like the longer double 'o' in room, doom and gloom!
