Ya. Hungarian does the same - which is why it wasn’t a surprise when encountered in Semitic 🙃. Also, more power to you for doing Manx! Also, not getting a grammar preview of a language from a family I’m faintly familiar with is pretty much what I would do (or not, depending, but probably yes, because what’s more fun than figuring stuff out from the raw data?). I mean, they do give you word-by-word glosses here. 🙃
That's true, the glosses are helpful :) although they don't have them for all the sentences yet. Although if I had the time, I would have dived right into raw data, or even better - move to a monolingual community for a month :) but that's not doable in my case unfortunately
In case you don't know. There are a number of typological features Celtic shares with Semitic. In the 1993's there was a dissertation by Orin Gensler at Berkeley detailing them.
So interesting to learn such an obscure language! And to think languages are intermingle somehow with each other ...
Really lovely, Tanya! (And not just because I like swimming....)

Thanks for these posts!

That's very cool. I didn't know it. Thanks, Richard!
