  1. An bhfuil eolas ag éinne agaibh i dtaobh bhunús an struchtúir ina bhfuil ainsíoch bealaí mar dobhriathar? Rud mar ‘bhí sé ag dul _an bóthar_’ gan an ginideach i ndiaidh ainme briathartha. An raibh a leithéid de rud sa Ghaelainn Chlasaiceach nó roimis sin?

  2. I’ve seen this mistake made in several other teaching materials (both for modern and historical Irish), and see it frequently online. Hence this thread, in hope to maybe make a few more people aware of it and interested in it. :)

    Críoch.

  3. A great article by Mícheál Hoyne showing that #MiddleIrish was developing an absolutive-ergative alignment in its personal pronouns. This survived to an extent in Classical Gaelic, but (mostly) disappeared later.

    The use of “object” pronouns with the copula in Modern #Irish are a remnant thereof too.
