Middle English[edit]
Verb[edit]
aned
- simple past/past participle of anen
Welsh[edit]
Verb[edit]
aned
- Soft mutation of ganed.
Usage notes[edit]
A mutated form of the literary ganed (=ganwyd) meaning "was born" (the past impersonal form of geni, coming from the stem gan- and the past impersonal suffix -wyd/-ed).
The passive equivalent, which is the most common construction in everyday spoken Welsh, uses cael + verbal noun: e.g. Ces i fy ngeni yn Ne Cymru (lit. "I got my birthing in South Wales"), cafodd ei eni, etc.
Examples:
- Fe'm ganed - "I was born"
- Dyn a aned … - "a person who was born …"
- From the Messiah: Bachgen a aned drosom ni - "A child who was born for our sakes"
