Table of Mutations
(Information from the Table of Mutations and The Brief Guide to Mutations has been taken from/modelled on the work from the "Gerlyver Kernewek Kemmyn" by Dr Ken George and the "Gerlyvrik, Mini Dictionary" also by Dr Ken George and "The Welsh Learner's Dictionary" co produced by Heini Grufudd and Y Lolfa.)
| Original Letter | Soft Mutation | Hard Mutation | Spirant Mutation | Mixed Mutation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| K | g | no change | h/no change | no change |
| P | b | no change | f | no change |
| T | d | no change | th | no change |
| G | w/left out | k | no change | hw/h |
| B | v | p | no change | f (after “th” v) |
| D | dh | t | no change | t(after “th” t) |
| M | v | no change | no change | f (after “th” v) |
| Ch | j | no change | no change | no change |
As this happens to the first letter of words, a word in a sentence could start with an a but it could also be under G in the dictionary (as the letter g drops off with soft mutations of words in which o, u, ro or ru don’t immediately follow the g).
e.g. garr (Leg); an arr (the leg)
But not
e.g. dew (two), grogys (belt); dew wrogys (two belts)
Because “ro” follows “g” in “grogys”.
You must therefore look up what the original spelling would be: words starting with v, for example, could be mutated from m or b. You should therefore look up V, M or B.

Famous quotes containing the words table of and/or table:
“Remember thee?
Ay, thou poor ghost, whiles memory holds a seat
In this distracted globe. Remember thee?
Yea, from the table of my memory
I’ll wipe away all trivial fond records,
All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past
That youth and observation copied there,
And thy commandment all alone shall live
Within the book and volume of my brain,”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“In this sad state, God Tender Bowells run
Out streams of Grace: And he to end all strife
The Purest Wheate in Heaven, his deare-dear Son
Grinds, and kneads up into this Bread of Life.
Which Bread of Life from Heaven down came and stands
Disht on thy Table up by Angells Hands.”
—Edward Taylor (1645–1729)
