Welsh[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Proto-Brythonic *nanī, from Proto-Celtic *nana (“grandmother”), probably from a Proto-Indo-European root imitative of a child speaking, similar to Ancient Greek νάννα (nánna).
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
nain f (plural neiniau)
- (North Wales) grandmother
- Synonym: mam-gu
Usage notes[edit]
- The usual word for "grandmother" in the Welsh of South Wales is mam-gu.
Usage notes[edit]
Some, especially northern, dialects employ a non-standard aspirate mutation of nain to nhain. In practice, this only occurs after the determiner ei (“her”). See also mam to mham for a similar example.
