    I actually know this! Or at least, I half-remembered it barely well enough to find the Tom Scott video that taught me about it: there’dn’t’ve.

    TL;DW: trying to use a clitic without an object to go with it creates a syntactic gap and has weird stress patterns. Or something like that; IDK I’m not a linguist.
