The finite relative clause is introduced optionally with a relativizer ''rin'' (specific) or ''nitrôg/trôg'' (non-specific; etymologically "whenever"). When the head is omitted, the relativizer is mandatory. To modify a sentence with a relative clause the relativizer ''surith'' is used instead.
The finite restrictive relative clause is introduced with a relativizer ''rin'' (specific) or ''nitrṓg/trṓg'' (non-specific; etymologically "whenever"). To modify a sentence with a relative clause the relativizer ''surith'' is used instead. If the head is the relative clause's object the verbal agreement with it is not necessary.
