	German Relative Clauses
		A relative clause is one sentence "plugged into" another which gives further information about a preceding noun or pronoun (relative clauses underlined in examples).
		The relative pronoun cannot be omitted as in English variant 3 of the example sentence above.
		Relative clauses follow directly after the noun they modify, but if only a word or two (typically verb forms) remains at the end of the clause, it is usually finished off before the relative clause begins:

	Relative Clauses
		In Latin, the relative pronoun must be the same gender and number as its antecedent; that is, if the antecedent is feminine plural (aedes, divitiae, litterae) the relative pronoun must be feminine plural; if the antecedent is neuter singular (atrium, caput, limen), the relative pronoun must be neuter singular also.
		In Latin, the case of the relative pronoun is determined by its function in the relative clause.
		The relative pronoun can be the subject (nominative case) or the direct object (accusative case); it can be the object of a preposition (ablative or dative case); or it can express possession (genitive case).

	Relative pronouns in Spanish
		In general, these four relative pronouns are used depending on their length and the distance between them and the antecedent.
		That is, the longer the distance between the antecedent and the relative pronoun, the longer is the relative pronoun to be used.
		They are typically used when there is some distance between the relative pronoun and the antecedent, for example after a comma or a one-word preposition.

	Identifying relative pronouns
		In this sentence, the relative pronoun is an object in the dependent clause.
		These pronouns take a different case depending on whether the relative pronoun is a subject or an object in the dependent clause.
		When using relative pronouns for places, things or ideas, rather than determining case, the writer must decide whether the information in the dependent clause is essential to the meaning of the dependent clause or simply additional information.

	Guide-to-Links: R
		In object- type relatives, it connects either to the relative pronoun or the subject of the relative clause if the relative pronoun is omitted.
		Relative Clauses and Post-Processing When a relative clause is created, an 'r' domain is begun, by the R link between the main noun and relative pronoun.
		In object-type relatives, it seems natural for the main noun to connect to the verb of which it is the implied object.

	English Grammar
		A pronoun which is used to begin a subordinate clause can be referred to as a relative pronoun, since it indicates the relationship of the subordinate clause to the rest of the sentence.
		Relative clauses can be divided into two types: those which merely give a description of the object to which they refer, and those which define or identify the object to which they refer.
		Whereas in written English the presence of a non-defining relative clause is indicated by the use of commas, in spoken English the presence of such a clause is indicated by slightly emphasizing the word immediately preceding the clause, and the last word of the clause.

	Sentence Structure: Relative Clauses
		Relative clauses are one kind of dependent clause, introduced by a relative pronoun that refers to the main noun the clause depends upon.
		Since a relative clause is a dependent clause, the sentence it appears in must still have a main subject and a main verb besides the ones in the relative clause.
		When the relative clause comes between the main noun and verb of a sentence, it is easy to forget to finish the main clause by adding a main verb after using a relative clause.

	The Questionable Interrogative Pronouns

	Relative Clauses
		Relative clauses contain at least a subject and a verb and are used to modify nouns, pronouns, or sometimes whole phrases.
		A relative pronoun establishes the link to what is being modified (which is called the "antecedent").
		"wer" can be used only in the sense of "he who" or "whoever" - this is not technically a relative pronoun, since it has no antecedent; rather the whole clause in which it occurs occupies the position of a subject or an object.

	The Relative Clause
		Next, it will begin with a relative pronoun [who, whom, whose, that, or which] or a relative adverb [when, where, or why].

	FORMS OF "THAT"
		Another grammatical quandary that has long faced D’ni linguists is the accurate way to translate the simple English word “that.” “That” can function variously in English: as a relative pronoun, as a demonstrative adjective and pronoun, and as a subordinating conjunction.
		The relative pronoun, most frequently rendered “that” or “which” in English, introduces a clause that relates to the noun directly preceding it.
		Personal nouns in English use “who” instead of “that” or “which” as a relative pronoun; it is likely (but still unclear) that, in D’ni, kahmrov should be used in these instances.

		If the antecedent noun is the object of an expression requiring the preposition "de" in the dependent clause, use the relative pronoun "dont" to link the two clauses.
