C. THE RELATIVE CLAUSE. 



The relative clause is introduced either by the relative pronoun kat, 

 abbr. ka, and its inflectional cases or by a particle formed from the pro- 

 nominal roots ka- (kank) and ta- (tank) for the purpose of qualifying the 

 subject or object (direct and indirect) of the main sentence. As the lan- 

 guage possesses many other means to qualify these, relative clauses are 

 comparatively scarce, and usually stand offer the principal clause, or may 

 be incapsulated into it. Sometimes a demonstrative pronoun precedes it 

 as correlative.
