===Syntactic pivots=== | ===Syntactic pivots=== | ||
Normally, syntactic pivoting (the practice of omitting a subject entirely in a clause when the previous clause has it as a subject, e.g. ''He took my gift and went'') is disallowed: a pronoun can be used as a subject in the following clause if the previous clause has its antecedent as its subject. So if you ask a Tíogall speaker to translate "I am dark but beautiful", they'll probably give you ''Cocht ná ach subhan ná''. | |||
