Talk:Ostair

The supposed ‘mutations’ for Scottish Gaelic that were given here were complete nonsense. The spellings given were those of Irish not Scottish Gaelic. That is a different language with different spelling conventions. In Scottish Gaelic, nasal mutations are usually not reflected in spelling changes to the start of the word, but rather they are shown as nasals at the end of the previous nasalising small word, eg "nam ban" (gen.pl), "nan cat" (gen.pl.). The case of a vowel-initial word is an exception; there the nasal is marked as "n-" prefixed, that is, n plus a hyphen attached to the start of the nasalised word, e.g. "ar n-athair" CecilWard (talk) 14:03, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
