Hi, Anton Shepelev!
I read your message from 24.06.2019 16:40

 AK>> Kipling's cat is male whereas its Russian counterpart IS female

 AS> I intentionally elided that second instance of "is", even as Fracis
 AS> Bacon elided "maketh" in:

 AS> Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an
 AS> exact man.

That guy probably liked speaking informally, too. ;-)

Although, according to punctuation rules, the gaping comma should be used:

"Reading maketh a full man; conference, a ready man; and writing, an
exact man."

So, your sentence should be like this:

"Kipling's cat is male whereas its Russian counterpart, female."


PS:
BTW, what did he mean speaking "conference maketh a ready man"?

Bye, Anton!
