hmmm:

greid: thanks; mullt di reid: many thanks; and, greid, Frenda: thanks,
Brenda.

> How do you analyze it grammatically,
greid is an exclamation. With a qualifier like 'mullt', it becomes soft.
The use of the preposition 'di' between a qualifier and a qualified noun
is widespread in Brithenig.  When a proper name is used as a vocative it
is normally softened, (a) Frenda, (o) Brenda.

>and how do you pronounce it?
/mUKt DI rEId/ or /grEId/, /vrEn'da/
