Usage notes
- Just like ober which has an irregular mutation (gra- becomes ra- instead of expected c'hra- due to an earlier gwra- initial consonant), gouzout has an irregular mutation ouz- instead of expected c'houz- due to an earlier gw- initial consonant in Proto-Breton *gwezboud (cf. modern Welsh gwybod), as this verb is initially a compound of bout (bezañ) + an adjective *gwid (see etymology above).
