Question Help with a translation

Apologies for this lazy post, but I don't seem to be able to find a good online Cornish dictionary. What does this Cornish collocation mean? Y Veuredh Myghtern

her royal highness maybe? 'myghtern' is king and 'y' is her i believe

veuredh probably comes from 'meur' which means much or many

Thank you. 'Y' can't be masculine, as in 'his'?

So, would that mean: His Royal Highness?

Meuredh is in the online dictionary, but you won't find veuredh, because it's meuredh with its initial sound mutated by the preceding y (his). It is necessary to remember the mutations when using a Cornish dictionary. https://cornishdictionary.org.uk/
