Reduced relative clauses

Vitale identifies three types of relative clauses, "full relatives" which use amba-, "reduced relatives" which use a verbal prefix to indicate realtiveness (e.g. the ye in a-li-ye-mw-ona).

The third type is reduced relative clauses which have a relative marker suffix.

wanafunzi wa-soma-o
students they-study-REL
'students who study'

sentensi zi-fuata-zo
sentences they-follow-REL
'sentences which follow'

Note that these have no tense information.

The words that were labeled with REL-LI for their HCS part of speech are actually the copula version of these reduced relatives.
