A favourite word of grammarians since it's feminine and begins with RH -- to show how feminine words with RH mutate (or not).
Specifically, with the definite article it's y rhaw, because y causes weak soft mutation in feminine nouns which does not affect RH or LL. But for example, i raw "to a spade" with mutation since i causes strong soft mutation.

Had this one as a "type what you hear", and wondered if I ought to type "caw" or "chaw"... Would it be possible to disable "type what you hear" for this particular word?
