Review

 * There are nine consonants that can mutate in Welsh:
 * C, P, T, B, D, G, Ll, M, and Rh.


 * There are three types of mutation: Soft, Nasal, and Aspirate. Usually there is a preceding word that triggers a mutation.
 * The prepositions i (to) and o (from) both cause a Soft Mutation.
 * Place names in Welsh can undergo soft mutation. Personal names do not.
