Usage notes

edit
  • Being derived from a proper name, Zwinglïaidd does not have its spelling adapted to typical Welsh orthographic conventions, which do not use the letter z. See also Kantaidd (Kantian).
  • Like many other unnaturalised words recently derived from other languages, Zwinglïaidd does not undergo initial mutation.
