In Celtic linguistics, affection (also known as vowel affection or infection) is the change in the quality of a vowel under the influence of the vowel of the following, final syllable. Subsequently, the vowel triggering the change was normally lost.The two main types of affection are a-infection and i-infection. i-infection is an example of i-mutation, and may be compared to Germanic umlaut.
