Noun

mham

  1. (North Wales, colloquial) Aspirate mutation of mam.

Usage notes

edit

In standard Welsh, M is not affected by the aspirate mutation. However, some, especially northern, dialects employ a non-standard aspirate mutation of mam to mham. In practice, this only occurs after the determiner ei (her). See also nain to nhain for a similar example.
