Editing Capitalization (section)

===Initial mutation===
In languages where [[inflected]] forms of a word may have [[Consonant mutation|extra letters at the start]], the capitalized letter may be the initial of the root form rather than the inflected form. For example, in [[Irish language|Irish]], in the placename {{lang|ga|Sliabh na mBan}}, "(the) mountain of the women"  (anglicized as [[Slievenamon]]), the word-form written {{lang|ga|mBan}} contains the [[genitive]] plural of the noun {{lang|ga|bean}}, "woman", [[Irish initial mutations|mutated]] after the genitive plural definite article (i.e., "of the"). The written B is [[mute letter|mute]] in this form.

Other languages may capitalize the initial letter of the orthographic word, even if it is not present in the base, as with definite nouns in [[Maltese language|Maltese]] that start with certain consonant clusters. For example, {{lang|mt|l-Istati Uniti}} (the United States) capitalize the epenthetic {{lang|mt|I}}, even though the base form of the word — without the definite article — is {{lang|mt|stati}}.
