Some but not all modern varieties of Ăn Yidiș have initial consonant mutation which serves grammatical roles. Standard Ăn Yidiș has lenition and h-prothesis but no eclipsis. Lenition is called הרפּיה ''hărpóyă'' lit. 'rafe-ization', after the diacritic רפה ''rofă'' (aka rafe, from Hebrew for 'weak, limp') which marks initial lenition in Ăn Yidiș. Sometimes it's called הרפּיה קֿעלאך ''hărpóyă Ghełăch'' to distinguish it from Hebrew ''begadkefat'' which is not identical.
