Usage[edit]

This template shows mutations of Middle Irish words.

{{mga-mutation|initial|remnant}}

  • initial is the initial letter of the word (case-sensitive).
  • remnant is the rest of the word after the initial letter.

A few Middle Irish words starting with s- take lenition in ph- instead of the usual ṡ-. For these words, use sw as the initial.

Deuterotonic verbs[edit]

Deuterotonic verbs are mutated after the preverb. When using this template for deuterotonic verbs, the initial is the initial letter of the stressed portion of the verb, and the remnant is what follows the initial. The preverb can be specified using the optional parameter p=.
