I feel you’ve attempted to pack a little too much into the line beginning “le relais”, Simon! It’s notoriously difficult, I know, to make words in different languages line up in precise one-to-one correspondences, but here’s one attempt to “unpack” those items:
B ……………… C ……………… E ……………… F
a bep eil …….. bob yn ail …… alternately …… tour à tour
eskemm ……. cyfnewid …….. exchange ……. échange
hanterour …… canolwr ………. go-between …. intermédiaire
leti, ostaleri … llety, gwesti …. hotel, inn ……. relais, auberge
relae …………. relái …………… relay …………. relais
(The last line is, of course “relay” in the technical, electronic sense.)
