A (probably bad example) could be "T is a diagonalizable linear
transformation with eigenspace(s) ... (respectively for eigenvalues ...)".
One /could/ put that into two bridi (by gije/gi'e), but in more
complicated statements (such as, say, a description of the process of
Jordan decomposing a given linear transformation) it is helpful to have
around.
