Noun

Zwinglïad m (plural Zwinglïaid, not mutable)

Usage notes

• Being derived from a proper name, Zwinglïad does not have its spelling adapted to typical Welsh orthographic conventions, which do not use the letter z. See also Kantiad (“a Kantian”).
• Like many other unnaturalised nouns recently derived from other languages, Zwinglïad does not undergo initial mutation.
