aned

Usage notes
A mutated form of the literary ganed (=ganwyd) meaning "was born" (the past impersonal form of geni, coming from the stem gan- and the past impersonal suffix -wyd/-ed).

The passive equivalent, which is the most common construction in everyday spoken Welsh, uses cael + verbal noun: e.g. Ces i fy ngeni yn Ne Cymru (lit. "I got my birthing in South Wales"), cafodd ei eni, etc.

Examples:
 * Fe'm ganed - "I was born"
 * Dyn a aned … - "a person who was born …"
 * From the Messiah: Bachgen a aned drosom ni - "A child who was born for our sakes"
