Letter Edit
D (upper case, lower case d)
- The fifth letter of the Welsh alphabet, called di and written in the Latin script. It is preceded by Ch and followed by Dd.
Mutation Edit
- D at the beginning of words mutates to Dd in a soft mutation, to N in a nasal mutation and is unchanged by aspirate mutation, for example with the word Dinbych (“Denbigh”):
Welsh mutation | |||
---|---|---|---|
radical | soft | nasal | aspirate |
Dinbych | Ddinbych | Ninbych | unchanged |
Note: Some of these forms may be hypothetical. Not every possible mutated form of every word actually occurs. |
