I know what you mean. But I don't know.

Here, I think the noun following déan is actually the subject. But traditional grammars differ and call it "impersonal use". Perhaps because it is a somewhat strange behaviour of déan with its allegedly "clear" transitive meaning of "to make" having a subject that doesn't act at all. But such intransitivizing is normal with other verbs. I see no difference why "déan de" can't be made intransitive as well.

These are excellent examples. It's hard to get a feel for the saorbhriathar if you try to translate. It's just something that happened. Wonderful!

I received an email from David Webb.
He's of course right in that you can simply use iompaigh i for "turn into":

go dtí go n-iompóidh an domhan ar fad ina dheannach
(he used ... ina luaithrigh)

And I could add that imigh i might work as well:

go dtí go n-imeoidh an domhan ar fad ina dheannach

Very interesting. So could we translate rinne bean di as "une femme (s')en fit" or "a woman made (herself) out of it"? Keeping it transitive by implying a reflexive?

The intransitive idea is interesting also. rinne bean di as "a woman results of it" perhaps
