Irish, like all modern Celtic languages, is characterized by its initial consonant mutations. These mutations affect the initial consonant of a word under specific morphological and syntactic conditions. The mutations are an important tool in understanding the relationship between two words and can differentiate various meanings. * Irish, like Manx and colloquial Scottish Gaelic, uses two mutations on consonants: lenition (Irish: séimhiú [e.vu]) and eclipsis (urú [.u]) (the alternative names, aspiration for lenition and nasalisation for eclipsis, are also used, but those terms are a bit misleading). * Originally these mutations were phonologically governed external sandhi effects: lenition was caused by a consonant being between two vowels, and eclipsis when a nasal preceded an obstruent, including at the beginning of a word. * There are also two mutations, t-prothesis and h-prothesis, found on vowel-initial words. * See Irish phonology for a discussion of the symbols used on this page. |
