Gach is an inherently definite word, acting grammatically as if there is an unwritten definite article. Thus, the prepositions ann, à, le, ri usually take the pre-article forms (anns, às, le, ris) when preceding gach, though some speakers use the basic forms instead. ==== Derived terms ==== == Welsh == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ɡaːχ/ === Noun === gach soft mutation of cach === Mutation ===
