====Internal Heads====
 
It must be noted that Kämpya restrictive relative clauses are strictly speaking internally headed [http://wals.info/chapter/90]. We can only see this in antipassives and applicatives where the noun (that used to be in the absolutive case) is re-introduced as a dative argument, it follows the head noun e.g.
 
 
/θú=káiʔk gáʔɾ kʰwèi̤=jàuŋ pjèi̤/
 
ANTIP=bite lizard dog=DAT flee
 
The lizard that had bitten the dog fled. (not */θú=káiʔk kʰwèi̤=jàuŋ gáʔɾ pjèi̤/)
 
 
Or in an applicative construction:
 
 
/gáʔɾ=zù káiʔk=dè pʰáˈzè̤t kʰwèi̤=jàuŋ nóuʔp/


lizard=ERG bite=in dog=DAT forest small
lizard=ERG bite=in forest dog=DAT small
