Usage notes
This is the so-called "substantive verb", which takes an adverb, an adverbial phrase, or a prepositional phrase as the predicate. When the predicate is a noun, a pronoun, or an adjective, the copula  is used instead.

As in modern Irish, if there is no other predicate in an existential clause, the adverb  is used:
 * "sga"
 * "sga"

- Ní taibre grád for nech a pectha ꝉ a chaíngníma: ar bíit alaili and ro·finnatar a pecthe resíu do·coí grád forru; alaili is íarum ro·finnatar. Berir dano fri láa brátha.
