Provection in Goildeic Languages
"but those processes have no counterparts in the grammars of the surviving modern Goidelic languages," Whomever wrote this has perhaps little experience of either Irish or Scottish Gaelic. All of the 'historical forms of provection' listed in the article sources (Lewis & Pederson, pp. 123-7) are still present and active in modern Irish, see: leaba {bed} > leabtha (pre-spelling reform) > leapa {beds}; captaen (pronounced)/caɸtan/; teagadh sé (pronounced by native speakers as)/t'agət ſe/

Admittedly, an incompetent government 'spelling reform' in the last century has done much to disguise the process. 2A00:23C6:28A1:DA01:59FC:C3D9:B1C8:9002 (talk) 15:02, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
