I take it that no-one is so well acquainted with Occitan that my (fairly simple) question can be answered.

Just in case that question has been overlooked, it was this:

If (for argument's sake) Pelling's rendering of the marginalia is supposed correct, would 'light/sunlight' be the subject or the object of the sentence?

I was not asking for other ideas about how to read that bit of marginalia, nor for comment on whether or not Pelling's reading (as it was in 2006) is accepted by others - nor for comment on my comments added to clarify his text, but just for clarification on that single point... that is, a grammatical evaluation of the Occitan as it was posited by Nick in his book.  

Still seeking an answer - all relevant contributions gratefully received.

Thanks
