Mirmio can substitute both noun and verb positions with a content clause. Uninflected content clauses are marked with a preclitic (''dl-'' before a vowel, ''dlõ-'' before a consonant) attached to the first word of the content clause.

In example (1a), ''dl-'' is cliticized onto the animacy marker of the clause ''ácv dja'ukuh ~~rlòxnjkf~~'', allowng the clause to be placed in the initiator positon of “_ qùulkf nji'hu.”

In example (1a), ''dl-'' is cliticized onto the animacy marker of the clause ''ácv dja'ukuh rlòxnj'', allowng the clause to be placed in the initiator positon of “_ qùulkf nji'hu.”

Example (2c) uses the same sentence as (2b) but with an additional relative clause. The discontinuous clitic (''-n'') is used to mark that the noun ''djá'ukuh'' takes an associate role in the second relative clause '''', while the ''kjĩ'ĩ'' remains marking the noun as the initiator in the first relative clause ''rlòxnj''.

Example (2c) uses the same sentence as (2b) but with an additional relative clause.
