Mutation is critical; A soft mutation [towards fricative] will occur when a word is a subject rather than an object, A hard [towards nasal] will occur when a word is a possessed object. The genitive and possession is marked in the possessed object with a hard mutation or the addition of an "n". A "h" can be added to the beginning of a word beginning with a vowel to mark it as a subject, though this will occur in when the word before ends with a vowel regardless. [[Cwengâr#An_Alternate_Interpretation|This Summarizes possible forms and meaning nicely]]. | Mutation is critical; A soft mutation [towards fricative] will occur when a word is a subject rather than an object, A hard [towards nasal] will occur when a word is a possessed object.
