[EN] The complement of the comparative in Old Irish.
After examining Brittonic data, the author analyses the different solutions used in Old Irish to connect a referential complement after a comparative. Dative without any preposition is possible only with isolated nouns. If the complement is a full noun phrase, prepositions are used : ol «beyond», re «before», sech «over». There is a tendancy to organise this complement as a proposition, by introducing the verb «to be», relative -daas, forming oldaas, indaas, adaas. Finally, the author studies a particle ind-, distinct from the prep. iN «in» and used to form adverbs.
