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 word table:
“Language was vigorous because, because ... editors usually “laid all the cards on the table so as to leave their hands ... free for more persuasive arguments!” The citizenry at large retaliated as best they could.”
—State of Utah, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
