Incorrect use of "ac" before consonants?

I'm a learner, so I may be wrong, but it strikes me that some of these entries are likely incorrect because they use "ac" for "and" in front of both vowels and consonants.

Anyone who knows Cymraeg at least as well as I do will immediately see what I mean, but here's a clunky description:

The vigesimal value for 41 is listed as "deugain ac un", because "un" starts with a vowel. The values for 42 through 47 are also listed as "deugain ac dau/dwy", "deugain ac tri/tair", ... "deugain ac saith" where they should be "deugain a dau/dwy", "deugain a tri/tair", ... "deugain a saith". "Deugain ac wyth" would be correct, and "deugain ac naw" would again be incorrect. It looks like someone copied the model of "deugain ac un" (and others) for all numerals without thinking about the a/ac issue.

I'm willing to do the corrections if someone who knows Welsh tells me that I'm right and should do so.
