Mutation
- M at the beginning of words mutates to F in a soft mutation, but is unchanged by nasal mutation and aspirate mutation, for example with the word Merch (“girl, daughter”):
| radical | soft | nasal | aspirate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Merch | Ferch | unchanged | unchanged |
Note: Certain mutated forms of some words can never occur in standard Welsh.
All possible mutated forms are displayed for convenience.
