• Chi is often added after the noun or verbnoun whicheich precedes. In formal language, this is done to emphasise the determiner or pronoun. In colloquial language, it is not necessarily an indicator of emphasis, and is often included with the determiner and always included with the pronoun. The exception to the latter case is in passive constructions employingcael, wherechi is never used.
• In formal Welsh, the contraction’ch is a valid form ofeich found after mostly functional vowel-final words. In colloquial Welsh,eich is often contracted to'ch after almost any vowel-final word.
• Pronomialeich and’ch can occur before any verbal noun. Before a verb, pronomial’ch is found only in formal language after certain vowel-final preverbal particles. See entry for'ch for more information.
• The colloquial pronunciation/əχ/ is the original pronunciation, as shown by the Middle Welsh formych. The more careful pronunciation/ei̯χ/ is a laterspelling pronunciation.
