Name
I wonder whether the parsing of the name is actually correct. I understand that "Gwaith" = battle, however Y Geiriadur Mawr also gives "Gwaedlan" as meaning "battle". Nennius gives the name as "Gueithlin Garan" and as "Garan" has little to do with "Nechtan" there seems little reason to suppose a "llyn". Clearly "Nechtansmere" implies "Nechtan's Lake" but "Llyn Garan" is something else. I don't have a resolution to this, but it does seem to me that there is a hitherto unrecognised problem.
