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!
