There are 3 main strategies for relativization in Rówok, depending on whether the relative clause is 1) defining or 2) non-defining, or 3) if it's generic. | There are 3 main strategies for relativization in Rówok, depending on whether the relative clause is 1) defining or 2) non-defining, or 3) if it's generic. | ||

It comes directly after the relativized participle for clauses containing just one word (1a), and introduces relative clauses for words with more than one word (1b). | ||
