Apologies if I am not remembering correctly; should this not be *iarā with a vocalic /i/ not a consonantal /j/ ? Because the /j/ would go to dd in W and be lost before late PrimIr ? CecilWard (talk) 13:16, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Are you talking about ? This is the talk page for Irish and, which has the same meaning but is unrelated to . Anyway, the change of /j/ to /ð/ in Welsh never happens at the beginning of a word, only in the middle or end after another vowel, and not even always then. —Mahāgaja · talk 23:05, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Thank you, that explains that. I hadn’t looked up the precise environment where that Welsh change happens. I got lost with too many pages open, :-) was looking at the page for Proto-Celtic *yarā. Duuh. ;-) Thanks for your help. CecilWard (talk) 22:19, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
