§ 160 will not know it who has not seen it’; cf. do. 8 ll. 1, 13. Later by metath&shy;esis this appears as nyw, as nyt kerẟawr nyw molwy 1400 ‘there is no minstrel who does not praise him’; nyw deiryt do. 1273 ‘which do not belong to him’. Later nyw is used in direct state&shy;ments, as ac nyw kelaf. 1244 ‘and I will not conceal it’. In. occurs enyu (≡ ỿnɥw) teno tranoeth 14 (mis&shy;printed eny in . i 32) ‘until he removes it the following day’, formed analogi&shy;cally. We also find rwy rel., as rwy digonsei 24 ‘who had made him’.

After pan ‘when’ and Ml. kyt ‘since’ syllabic accus. forms are used: ym, yth, y, yn, ych, y. In Late Mn. W. these are written y’m, y’th, ei, y’n, y’ch, eu; the apos&shy;trophe is incorrect, see iv (2). But even in Ml. W. after pan and other conjunc&shy;tions ending in conso&shy;nants, an affixed ace. pron. after the verb is preferred to the infixed; see iii (1).

In Ml. and Early Mn. verse the forms in (2) and (3) are also used in the dative.

Initial vowels are aspirated after the following prefixed and infixed pronouns: all the forms of the gen. 3rd sg. fem., and gen. 3rd pl.; all the infixed forms of the acc. 3rd sg. m. and f. and 3rd pl., except  s.

After ’m, ’n and yn gen. and ace. both aspirated and un&shy;aspirated initials are found.

om hanvoẟ 11,  18, om anvoẟ  30,  43 ‘against my will’; yn harglwyẟ ni Ỻ.A. 165, yn arẟer&shy;chogrwyẟ ni do. 168 ‘our majesty’. So in Early Mn. W.: A’m annwyl D.G. 219, a’m edwyn ibid. ‘knows me’, o’m hanfodd D.E. 113, i’m oes S.T.  29,
