====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/) | |||
