Notes

• All forms of this verb with initial gr- are found with particle (a, e) and take a particular mutation that makes the initial g- disappear, thus we have a ran, e reomp instead of *a c'hran, *e c'hreomp. This particularity is a remnant of the older gwr- initial vowel of this verb, gw- words regularly taking w- after particles a or e.
