| ====Relative clauses==== | | ====Relative clauses==== |
| Relative clauses are internally headed: The head is the first constituent of the relative clause, and an anaphoric "co-relative pronoun" ''nie'' occurs after the relative clause that refers back to the head.
| |
|
| |
| Simpler relative clauses often use the gap construction and use the ''nie'' determiner as the relativizer.
