      Is airi ní táet comsuidigud fri rangabáil, húare as coibnesta do bréthir: ar is lour comsuidigud fri suidi, air bid comsuidigud etarscartha comsuidigud rangabálae.
      This is why composition does not occur with a participle, because it is akin to a verb: for composition with the latter is sufficient, for composition of a participle will be separated composition.
