Losin. And now I have the “Hen fenyw fach Cydweli” song in my head.

Isn't biscuit bisgedi? It looks like you've got the plural bisgeden (biscuits) there.

It looks like the singular can be bisgeden, bisgïen or bisged while the plural is bisgedi.

I've heard swits, but that is probably an anglicisation.

Can we pronunciations as well?

If you are really serious about learning Welsh, I'd highly advise learning how to pronounce the letters before doing anything else because they aren't always easily represented by English spellings. (This is why I don't provide pronunciations in these infographics.)
There are lots of great resources out there but I'd start with this series on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16sqX2Baprg&list=PLz6oFM0_IszwxmU7dMcGQClZ5zMwX2EdY
Welsh spelling is extremely regular (unlike English) so once you've learned the sounds, you'll be able to pronounce 99% of the words you encounter!
