In clauses with a copula and a nominal subject, written Crannish prefers the ''subject-indexing construction'', ''R'ižəs bə hél u ð'abwəs'', over ''R'ižəs bə hél abwəs''. The subject-indexing 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".  
In clauses with a copula and a nominal subject, written Crannish prefers the ''subject-indexing construction'' (SIC), ''R'ižəs bə hél u ð'abwəs'', over ''R'ižəs bə hél abwəs''. The SIC 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 colloquially tends to be omitted in the present tense when the subject is 1st or 2nd person: ''Ðób tr ð'i nr?'' 'Do you love me?'
