Usage notes

edit
  • Being derived from a proper name, Kantiad does not have its spelling adapted to typical Welsh orthographic conventions, which do not use the letter k. See also Zwinglïad (a Zwinglian).
  • Like many other unnaturalised nouns recently derived from other languages, Kantiad does not undergo initial mutation.
