How It Works
Go dtí go introduces an until clause: Fan go dtí go dtiocfaidh sí. Its verb follows the complementizer's dependent pattern.
The sequence go dtí go introduces an affirmative until clause. The final go controls the dependent verb construction, including eclipsis where relevant. The main clause says what continues, while the following clause gives the event that ends that interval.
