The FGB shows that either meaning (as well as others) is possible. The English-Irish Phrase Dictionary (1922) shows the “manner” meaning of “way” as being a dialectal choice: {@style=font-family: 'Bunchlo Arsa GC', 'BunchloArsaGC', serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 12pt}bealaċ in Connacht, {@style=font-family: 'Bunchlo Arsa GC', 'BunchloArsaGC', serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 12pt}cuma in Munster, and {@style=font-family: 'Bunchlo Arsa GC', 'BunchloArsaGC', serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 12pt}dóiġ in Ulster.

Are pronouns required for all persons (1st, second, third, etc.) in the past tense? It seems they can be left out in the present tense, except for third person.

"Cheistigh me an nós nua." was my answer. I think it could pass as correct as I understood it as a new way of doing things. Any thoughts?
