Like literary Ăn Yidiș(*), Literary Cualand Irish is often influenced by literary Hebrew syntax, for example using ''iolaigh'' ('to VERB a lot', from OIr ''ilaigidir'' 'to increase') and other verbs as auxiliaries where English would use adverbs (coincidentally similar to Anbirese), and using morphological verbing with ''-aigh'' and ''-áil'' (for verbing nouns and forming causatives) more productively than Irta Irish. Hebrew lexical borrowing is restricted to slang. | Like literary Ăn Yidiș(*), Literary Cualand Irish is often influenced by literary Hebrew syntax, for example using ''iolaigh'' ('to VERB a lot', from OIr ''ilaigidir'' 'to increase') and other verbs as auxiliaries where English would use adverbs (coincidentally similar to Anbirese), and using morphological verbing with ''-aigh'' and ''-áil'' (for verbing nouns and forming causatives) more productively than Irta Irish.
