Two quick questions

Couple of quick questions…

  1. That big house. Y tŷ mawr 'na OR Y tŷ 'na mawr ? (Think it’s the second one)

  2. a fy, o fy, i fy contract to a’m, o’m’, i’m. But what mutation afterwards? a’m nheulu doesn’t sound right. a’m deulu sounds better.

Diolch

  1. the first one - Y tŷ mawr 'na
  2. you’re right in that there would normally be a nasal mutation after ‘fy’, but when you use the 'm construction it cancels out the mutation, so “a fy nheulu” but “a’m teulu”
