I use the term to mean that the spelling conventions of the language will tell you how to pronounce the word. I can't off-hand think of any Welsh word that I would not know how to pronounce correctly by looking at its spelling (which is of course not to say that there aren't any).
Welsh has no equivalent of the English nightmare of through/though/trough, and such irregularities.
