Abstract
Abstract Absolute verb-initial (Vl, verb-first) clauses, where at most only the preverbal particle y(d) precedes the verb, are not common in Middle Welsh. On average the frequency of absolute VI, excluding negative clauses and other contexts where it is compulsory, is close to nil in Middle Welsh texts, and in no text which has ever been investigated does it exceed 10 per cent (see Table 3.1).
