Cwtch

Cwtch -

Welsh word for an affectionate hug. There's no literal English translation, but its nearest equivlent is "safe place". So if you give someone a cwtch, you're giving them a "safe place".

It can also be used as a place to store things safely (usually a cupboard under a staircase)
"Give me a cwtch"

This can be used for baby carrying too. Cwtching can be used when a baby is wrapped in a shawl.
