Kantiad
Welsh
Etymology
From Kant (“surname of Prussian philosopher Immanuel Kant”) + -iad.
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ˈkantjad/
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.
