A few more Breathanach notes
The noun form derived from a verb is not a "participle" but a "gerund".
Therefore, Breathanach does not have two present participles, but
rather a present participle and a gerund, although the gerund is not
inherited from the Latin gerund.
What is the meaning of "*is* and *sa* are borrowed from Brithenig"?
Does that mean that *there* they have been borrowed, or that Geoff
have borrowed them from Andrew? The *fhoil* isn't clear.
