- 1996, Peter Wynn Thomas, Gramadeg y Gymraeg, Gwasg Prifysgol Cymru, page 683:
- Er mor sylfaenol yw treiglo i ramadeg y Gymraeg, dim ond ar naw cytsain y gall effeithio. Y mae'r newidiadau'n ymddosbarthu'n dair prif gyfres o dreigladau, sef: i. y treiglad meddal, ii. y treiglad trwynol, a iii. y treiglad llaes.
- Despite mutation being so fundamental to Welsh grammar, it can only affect nine consonants. The changes are classified into three main series o mutations, namely: i. the soft mutation, ii. the nasal mutation and iii. the aspirate mutation.
- (obsolete) inflection
- Synonym: ffurfdroad
Usage notes
The word treiglad is used to refer to a particular kind or instance of mutation. However as is practice in Welsh grammar, when referring the concept or process of mutation, the verbnoun treiglo is used as a masculine noun.
