When King Maelgwn attempted to show the finger to Elffin, he pointed out that his wife cut her fingernails more often than the owner of the finger, had servants to knead dough and never had any under her nails, and her ring was loose on her finger, and that one was tight.
Cando o rei Maelgwn intentou amosarlle o dedo a Elffin, este sinalou que a súa muller cortaba as unllas máis acotío que o posuidor do dedo, tiña criados para amasar a masa e que nunca tiña nada debaixo das unllas, e o seu anel estaba cumprido no seu dedo e ese estaba apertado.
