Letter
G
- The 10th letter of the alphabet, preceded by Ff and followed by Ng
Mutation
- G at the beginning of words is omitted in a soft mutation, mutates to Ng in a nasal mutation and is unchanged in an aspirate mutation, for example with the word gorsaf (“station”):
| Welsh mutation | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| radical | soft | nasal | aspirate |
| gorsaf | orsaf | ngorsaf | unchanged |
| Note: Some of these forms may be hypothetical. Not every possible mutated form of every word actually occurs. | |||
