Usage notes
Being the name of a person, this proper noun remains unmutated. Note the difference, for example, between:
cy Cafodd y llyfr yma ei ysgrifennu i Mam. This book was written for Mum.
cy Cafodd y llyfr yma ei ysgrifennu i fam. This book was written for a mother.
Welsh uses cy Mam in place of a possessive determiner + cy mam more readily than standard English, for example:
cy Sut mae Mam? How’s your mum?
