Sound Changes

Consonant Mutations

As with all modern Celtic languages, Everish makes extensive use of initial consonant mutations to help signal grammatical and syntactic information. Everish has three main mutations: lenis (međol), spirant (cravol) and nasal (truinol). There is a fourth type of mutation called aspiration (huizol) in which word-initial vowels take an h'- before them.

The changes caused by the mutations are summarised in the following table.

Radical	Lenition	Spirantisation	Nasalisation
p /p/	b /b/	f /f/
t /t/	d /d/	z /θ/
c /k/	g /g/	h /x/
c /t͡ʃ/	g /d͡ʒ/	h /ʃ/
b /b/	v /v/		m /m/
d /d/	đ /ð/		n /n/
g /ɡ/			ng /ŋ/
g /d͡ʒ/	y /j/		ñ /ɲ/
y /j/			ñ /ɲ/
m /m/	v /v/

Lenited g disappears before a consonant, becomes w before words in go-, gu-, goo- and becomes h- before other vowels, e.g. gre "flock" → i re "his flock", gur "man, husband" → i wur "his husband", geryadour "dictionary" → i heryadour "his dictionary".

Examples:

• Lenition: i benn "his head", de dat "your dad", i gi "his dog", er vanon "the lady", du Dhin Edin "to Edinburgh", war hat "on a road", i wrek "his wife", a vamm! "mum!".
• Spirantisation: i fenn "her head", tri that "three dads", teyr chath "three cats".
• Nasalisation: naw manon "nine ladies", in Nin Edin "in Edinburgh", mu ngat "my road"
• Aspiration: i h'ewidir "her uncle", an h'oungorn "our unicorn".
