 "Je ferai observer ici que l'infinitif du verbe 'être' s'exprime différemment selon les dialectes. 
 On dit béza, en Léon; béa-n[N barré], en Tréguier; béa et bout, en Vannes; 
 et bod, dans le pays de Galles ou kemru, dans la grande Bretagne."

 Wmffre (1998:46):
 "Whilst ja, nɑ̃n, and jɛw are the answers o the statement/question categories 1-3 [fig. 23], ja et jɛw can be reinforced by the appropriate verb following bi (bid before vowels) as a leading auxiliary element, and nan can be reinforced by the appropriate form of the verb in the negative
 (114)  S: zo:d e 'he is silly'       R: ja, bid e 'yez he is'
        S: ma tõnd 'he is coing' R: ja, bi ma 'yes he is'     Normal   0      3
