    hardening, 4th state mutation, one of the states of consonant mutation in the Cornish language. Provection and kalesyans are technically different concepts. The Cornish word means 'hardening', which is one specific type of provection, which means ‘carrying forward’ - the carrying forward of a consonant from the end of one word to the beginning of the next. When the verbal particle "ow" (which indicates the present continuous) precedes a verb, the verb-noun undergoes a change, which is known as provection. Example: The verb-noun ‘gweles’ (see - seeing) becomes "ow kweles" (literally meaning ‘at the act of seeing’ or in standard English, ‘seeing’).
