====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~~.

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''' (''[[Contionary:meyel|meyel]]''), '''spirant''' (''[[Contionary:cravel|cravel]]'') and '''nasal''' (''[[Contionary:truinel|truinel]]'').

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

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".

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 vur'' "his husband", ''geriador'' "dictionary" → ''i eryador'' "his dictionary".

Examples:

* Lenition: ''i beñ'' "his head", ''di dad'' "your dad", ''i gi'' "his dog", ''a vanon'' "the lady", ''do Varselon'' "to Barcelona", .

* Spirantisation: ''i feñ'' "her head", ''tri zad'' "three dads", ''~~tair~~ haz'' "three cats".

* Spirantisation: ''i feñ'' "her head", ''tri zad'' "three dads", ''ter haz'' "three cats".

* Nasalisation: ''no manon'' "nine ladies", ''i Marselon'' "in Barcelona", ''mi garrer'' "my road"

* Aspiration: ''i h'ewidir'' "her uncle", ''an h'oungorn'' "our unicorn".
