I tell you, I wouldn't mind getting a secret decoder ring for my mead making! So I can say stuff like, "I'm off to make mead, where is my decored ring?"! lol

That works, I don't recall if the statement of the glyn/lyn was out there or not when I had looked that part up, but the big part of the origin is that the names tend to stem from Welsh, Celtic, Latin and even Nordic. Perhaps a way of using some of the traditional mead origins to create the categories, even with new world fruit and spices.

This is from the "Mead Making FAQs" sticky at the top of this forum: mead types

This list may not answer your question about using sugar though.....
