Editing Olwen (section)

==Etymology==
The meaning of the name Olwen is "white footprint"<ref>"Welsh ''ol'' "footprint, track" and ''gwen'' "white, fair, blessed"", cited from http://www.behindthename.com/name/olwen</ref> or "white track".<ref name=Bruce1998p384/> According to legend, she was so gentle and fragile that white [[Clover|trefoils]] would grow in her footprints. Some authorities consider her to have been originally a [[solar goddess]], based on the etymology of her name and light-related attributes.<ref>Simon Andrew Stirling, The Grail: Relic of an Ancient Religion, 2015</ref><ref>Monaghan, Patricia.

Professor [[John T. Koch]] states that "recent [[Welsh language|Welsh]]  generally employs ''olwyn'' rather than ''rhod'' for 'wheel'."<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Koch |first1=John T. |title=Some Suggestions and Etymologies Reflecting upon the Mythology of the Four Branches |journal=Proceedings of the Harvard Celtic Colloquium |date=1989 |volume=9 |pages=1–10 |jstor=20557203 }}</ref>
