Talk:yr

What about the modern usage of 'yr' as meaning 'your'? Kerouac came up with it if I'm not mistaken, and I've seen it many places since.

Request etymology for Welsh yr
How could I get some help with an etymology?
 * The definite article appears to come from, just as does. The r is apparently due to a Brythonic rule changing n to r before certain consonants: to this day in Breton, the definite article has three different allomorphs:  before n, d, t, h, and vowels;  before l, and  before all other consonants. Apparently in Welsh the r-allomorph was generalized everywhere, and then later dropped the /r/ (becoming simply  /ə/) between two consonants. —Mahāgaja (formerly Angr) · talk 09:02, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
