The equivalent of a relative clause is dealt in
Kareyku with a
Relative clitic. The clitic is attached as a normal suffix at the end of the noun and the declension if any. The clitic is
-ja and such examples exist as:
vineru-ja kevire qappa-ta-l pile
person-REL never eat-4T-EVD fish
"A person who is known to never eat fish"
The clitic is highly productive and somewhat related to the topic marker, -ejen.
Karey-ja tan-ey-ta poko-lyo
Kareyku-REL speak-IMP-4T house-LOC
"The Kareyku spoken at home" or "The Kareyku as spoken at home"
