In clauses with a copula, written Crannish prefers the ''subject-indexing construction'' ''R'ižəs bə hél u ð'abwəs'' over ''R'ižəs bə hél abwəs''. The literary construction is etymologically "See the man when he's eating the apple", cf. Biblical and literary Modern Hebrew באכלו את התפוח "when he is/was eating the apple". A copular clause with a pronominal direct object always uses the subject-indexing construction: ''R'ižəs bə ðób u ð'oj.'' 'The man loves her.' In this case, the clause-initial subject pronoun + bə is often omitted in the present tense when the subject is 1st or 2nd person.

A copular clause with a pronominal direct object always uses the subject-indexing construction: ''R'ižəs bə ðób u ð'oj.'' 'The man loves her.' In this case, the clause-initial subject pronoun + bə colloquially tends to be omitted in the present tense when the subject is 1st or 2nd person.
