Some but not all modern varieties of Ăn Yidiș have initial consonant mutation which serves grammatical roles. Standard Ăn Yidiș has lenition and h-prothesis but no eclipsis. Lenition is called ''hărpóyă'' lit. 'rafe-ization', after the diacritic ''rofă'' (aka. rafe) which marks lenition in Ăn Yidiș. Sometimes it's called ''hărpóyă Ghełăch'' to distinguish it from Hebrew begadkefat which is not identical. | Some but not all modern varieties of Ăn Yidiș have initial consonant mutation which serves grammatical roles.
