Northern Subject Rule

[Robert Orr]

> According to the "Northen Subject Rule" verbs with 3rd person plural subjects
> show 3rd person agreement if no subject pronoun (which in English must always
> by "they") is expressed.

"3rd person agreement " must mean "3rd person sg agreement "

> Thus "They peel them and boils them".  This sort of construal is very rare
> among languages of the world, and apart from Hebrew and Arabic occurs,
> according to Klehmola) only in Welsh, Cornish, and Breton

Not necessarily Brythonic.  Irish has this rule as well.
