Usage notes

Non-Welsh placenames usually resist mutation in Welsh; thus, o Birmingham (“from Birmingham”) and yn Birmingham (“in Birmingham”), rather than o Firmingham and ym Mirmingham. The mutated forms are only occasionally encountered and are considered nonstandard.

Mutation

Welsh mutation
radical soft nasal aspirate
Birmingham Firmingham Mirmingham unchanged
Note: Some of these forms may be hypothetical. Not every possible mutated form of every word actually occurs.
