Well, I don't know Welsh, but I can decipher SOME phonetic symbols. The line above the A in the pronunciation means that it's a long A, like in "lay." The apostrophe means that it's the end of a syllable (I think). So, it could be pronounced "ay-rah."
But don't quote me on that, 'cause I'm not Welsh.

The apostrophe means it's stressed, or up in cadence. So it'd be AY-rah.
