Verse:Irta (Old)/Judeo-Mandarin/Filichdiș: Difference between revisions

These forms, including case forms, preposed possessive pronouns, and synthetic verb forms, are best preserved in Munster Irish, but in Ăn Yidiș they were almost completely lost and replaced with analytic constructions. Ăn Yidiș writers during the Learăgüs 'Awakening' period recreated these forms by cognatizing (creating hypothetical Ăn Yidiș cognates of) older Irish or Munster Irish forms. Sometimes Old or Middle Irish morphology is directly borrowed:

* ''ră-bo e'' 'he was, he became', from the Old Irish absolute form ''ro.bá'' of the perfect of ''at.tá''. (The conjunct form ''.roba'' survives naturally in the ''răv'' 'jussive' and ''răv'' 'dependent form of ''bhă''' forms of the auxilliary, cognate to Irish ''raibh''.) Forms derived from Old Irish absolute/deuterotonic forms are sometimes used to imitate Biblical Hebrew waw-consecutives to which they are syntactically similar (in that they can't be negated or subordinated); see the Song of the Sea example below.
