   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!
