The newest version of Netagin will be quite weird syntactically. For example, to say "bigger than X" you have to say "to exceed X bigly".

The ''pyšme věn'' "such that" + resumptive pronoun construction is always available in post-classical literary Netagin (the applicative has been lost in Modern Netagin vernaculars, which instead use resumptive pronouns for less "relativizable" positions in the relativization hierarchy). Gap and internally headed relative clauses are restricted to poetry.
