Since Old Norse, initial [[w:consonant mutation|consonant mutation]] has developed. Scots Norse has three forms:
:radical (basic)
:radical (basic)
:lenition
:lenition
:eclipsis
:eclipsis


these can be shown quite well through pronoun + verb, as a pronoun exists that causes both, the word order for these will be slightly odd.
:''{{lang|snon|mec tàlir}}'' /ˈmʲɛc ˈtɑ.ʎəɾʲ/ — "I speak"
 
:''{{lang|snon|ha dàlir}}'' /ˈxə ˈdɑ.ʎəɾʲ/ — "he speaks"
The following gives an example using "mic" ("I, me"), "ha" ("he, him"), and "ic" ("we, us", emphatic):
:''{{lang|snon|ec thàlir}}'' /ˈɛc ˈxɑ.ʎəɾʲ/ — "we (emphatic) speak"
:''{{lang|snon|mic tàlarr}}'' /ˈmʲɪc ˈto.ʎərʲ/ — "I speak"
:''{{lang|snon|ha dtàlarr}}'' /ˈçæ ˈdo.ʎərʲ/ — "he speaks"
:''{{lang|snon|ic thàlarr}}'' /ˈɪc ˈθo.ʎərʲ/ — "we (emphatic) speak"
