Modern Gallaecian features, as other Celtic languages, a word-initial consonantal mutation system. While there is some evidence that other Continental Celtic languages such as Gaulish might have evolved mutation,[1] it is impossible to ascertain whether Gallaecian would too.

Soft mutation (bucoscaso)

The so-called soft mutation affects plosive consonants.

Environments

  • Feminine nouns of either number in the direct case after the definite article: beaem vea, terbaem derbas.
  • Singular masculine nouns in the locative case after the definite article: torhedoen dorreide.
  • After singular possessive pronouns, that is, mo ‘my’, to ‘your’, and so ‘his/her/its’: quenomo gueno, páto bá, gañaso haña.
