Salwadres would be a suitable word to describe the woman who had just
saved you, yes.  Prefder comes from a different origin.  A female
prefder would certainly raise eyebrows in Cambria.  Ill priwad and lla
briwad are complementary for husband and wife.  Proffessiwnal is an
adjective and creating a female gendered substantive is perfectly
acceptable.
