Pronunciation

Noun

Kantiad m (plural Kantiaid, not mutable)

Usage notes

• Being derived from a proper name, Kantiad does not have its spelling adapted to typical Welsh orthographic conventions, which do not use the letter k. See also Zwinglïad (“a Zwinglian”).
• Like many other unnaturalised nouns recently derived from other languages, Kantiad does not undergo initial mutation.
