I've signed up to learn Welsh. I am now therefore a student again, as well as being staff.

I found that the Welsh for "cider" is "seidr", and "seidr", according to Wikipedia, is "an Old Norse term for a type of sorcery or witchcraft which was practiced by the pre-Christian Norse." Cider is sorcery.
