What is the origin of the word of the word corgi?

awsomeThe word "Corgi" is either from the Welsh "cor" (dwarf) and "ci" (dog). The "ci" becoming "gi" by normal mutation resulting in corgi. Another interpretation is that of "cur dog" or "Cur". This interpretation can be dated back to one of the earliest dictionaries, to Wyllam Salesbury's "A Dictionary in Englyshe and Weslhe" London, 1574, where there is a reference to the "Korgi ne gostoc", that is, Corgi or curre dogge. (The use of the K rather than the C at that time was perfectly proper and eventually the K was no longer used interchangeably with the C.) The connection of the word "Corgi" with "Cur" has considerable historical support as there are many references to Corgwn (plural of Corgi - pronounced Corg'n, sound out like oxen) in many a cywydd (a song of praise) in the 14th and 15th centuries.
