Originally ending in ij, sometime in the 19thC the spelling was changed to a dotted y.

There is a difference between the Middle Welsh dotted y (with a single dot) and the Dutch ij ligature (and, for that matter the y with diaeresis. They're all in Unicode as separate glyphs.




What would it look like zmjezhd, a dotted y with a single dot? Where would it stand? left , right or in the middle? Could you show one?
And yes, the ij is totally Dutch: hij, zij, wij, jij, ijs, rijkelijk en klaarblijkelijk ------ he, she, we, you, ice, richly and evidently.
