(Note: There is a subject in the relative clause - ''leed'' ("I") - since "I" am doing the burning. It appears after the verb because the verb is always second. Also, the verb is slightly different. ''aekhlaat'' means something is burning. I am making it burn, so the verb is literally "to cause-to-burn." For more on that construction, see the section on
