Zwinglïaidd
Welsh edit
Etymology edit
From Zwingli (“surname of Huldrych Zwingli, a Swiss Protestant reformer”) + -aidd.
Pronunciation edit
Adjective edit
Zwinglïaidd (feminine singular Zwinglïaidd, plural Zwinglïaidd, not comparable, not mutable)
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.
