The following is an account by an informant about his
going to sea. The subject long 'I' is introduced in the
first sentence and then omitted in all clauses that follows.
However, in the version that is given below, I have inserted
the subject in all clauses. The result is a story which is
unacceptable to a native speaker. Notice also that the
interruption of long by a third person agent toke Taleb
'merchant Taleb' does not requires its reintroduction
because they take different proclitics. Since the insertion
of the omitted long is unacceptable, the word is starred.
