New Course Southern 6-9

I’d write it the way Gavin did. This is what Iestyn had to say about the issue in another thread:-

"I’m not sure that ayone really knows how it’s spelt, Don! I write it “biti” in the transcript for the listening practice after lesson 5, but it depends on the individual speaker how it sounds exactly as well.

It comes from “o bob tu” (on every side of), and can be biti, bwytu, bythdu, bithdu…

Elizabeth Jane, you were asking in another thread about “ambytu” – here’s a discussion of its derivation & use from last summer.
