Usage notes

 * After the noun or verbnoun which precedes,  is often added. In formal language, this is done to emphasise the determiner or pronoun. In colloquial language, it is not necessarily an indicator of emphasis, and is often included with the determiner and always included with the pronoun. The exception to the latter case is in passive constructions employing, where  is never used.
 * In formal Welsh, contractions of include  before vowel-initial words in poetic language and  after mostly functional vowel-final words.
 * In colloquial Welsh, another form of the word is used, namely . This begins with a vowel and usually triggers a nasal mutation hence has the tendency to be reduced variously in colloquial spelling and pronunciation as ,  or   or zero (the following mutation alone indicating its presence). This  and its various forms usually trigger nasal mutation but may trigger soft mutation in some instances.
 * Pronomial can occur before any verbal noun. Before a verb, pronomial  is found only in literary language after certain vowel-final preverbal particles. See entry for  for more information.
