soft mutation
soft mutation n. Linguistics (in the grammar of the Brittonic Celtic languages) the most common type of the three forms of initial consonant mutation (mutation n. 5b), encompassing a number of different consonant changes that originally arose phonetically and were later formalized by syntactic context. In contemporary Welsh there are nine changes, from /b/ to /v/, /k/ to /g/, /d/ to /ð/, /ɬ/ to /l/, /m/ to /v/, /p/ to /b/, /r̥/ to /r/, /t/ to /d/, and the elision of /g/.In the Goidelic languages the corresponding alteration is usually referred to as lenition (lenition n. 2).
