Paul,
The use of Na (than) is the correct and later use, not the earlier mistranslation of Neu (or) which is incorrect and Ni has never been used.
Thomas,
What I should have added is that this all relates to the spelling of the regimental motto in Welsh and more importantly, the misspelling of the motto. Amongst just general spelling mistakes was the use of Neu (or) in the earlier spellings which allowed a translation of “Better Death or Dishonour”, whereas it should be “Better Death than Dishonour”.
Hwyl,
Kevin
