分析一下此句中though的用法

Question

‘Though tiny, blind, and translucent, a recently discovered species of catfish has thickened bones and armor plates on its sides that lessen its vulnerability.'

Answer 1

1.表示“虽然”，两者大致同义，可换用，只是 although 比 though 更为正式2.although 一般不用作副词，而 though 可用作副词，且一般放在句末(不放在句首)，意为“可是”、“不过”3.在 as though(好像，仿佛)，even though(即使，纵然)等固定短语中不能用 although： She closed her eyes as though she were tired. 她闭上眼，仿佛很疲劳似的。 4.though 引导的让步状语从句可用部分倒装的形式(注意：倒装后位于句首的名词之前不用冠词)，但 although 一般不这样用5.although较正式，语气强 ，although引导的从句放在主句前后均可，有时还可放在句中， although引导的从句不能与but, however连用，但可与yet, still连用。追问

Though引导让步状语从句，从句是要有完整主谓结构的句子或者是表达主句主语执行动作的分词短语。所以这里为什么可以直接接形容词。
