As with all modern Celtic languages, Cumbraek makes extensive use of initial consonant mutations to help signal grammatical and syntactic information. Cumbraek has three main mutations: '''lenition''' (''mootthei''), '''spirantisation''' (''anadhlolhei'') and '''nasalisation''' (''troonolhei''). There is a fourth type of mutation called '''aspiration''' (''anadhleth'') in which word-initial vowels take an ''h'-'' before them. | As with all modern Celtic languages, Cumbraek makes extensive use of initial consonant mutations to help signal grammatical and syntactic information.
