- perpetual adversary of: Gwyn ap NuddNON-SYMMETRIC, and that is the compromise lanes 17 and 18 named: the relation is mutual by definition — they are bound to each other and to nothing else — and Gwyn ap Nudd is a pre-existing record, so a symmetric `enemy` or `rival` would mutate him. The kind carries the full sense and the asymmetry is noted here.Reference treatment of the May Day combat binding Gwyn and Gwythyr until Judgement Day. (secondary)
- bound by the judgement of: ArthurReciprocal of the in-batch edge.Reference treatment of Arthur's intervention and the arrangement it imposes. (secondary)
