35. a) Ureueng (nyang) meudike ka trok.<br />

Person who say-"dike" PERF arrive<br />

' The persons who are going to perform (sing) the<br />

"dike" (prayers for the Prophet) have arrived.'<br />

b) [Ureueng (*nyang) meudike] kamoe ka trok.<br />

Person who say-"dike" weexc PERF arrive<br />

'Our persons who are going to perform (sing) the<br />

"dike" (prayers for the Prophet) have arrived.'<br />

The relative clause must also be reduced if the head NP<br />

and the relative clause is modified by a proper name.<br />

36. a) Aneuk-miet (nyang) meunari ka hek-jih.<br />

Child-small who dance IN tired-3.<br />

The children dancers are tired.<br />

b) [Aneuk-miet (*nyang) meunari] SD4 ka hek-jih.<br />

ChiId-small who dance "SD4" IN tired-3.<br />

The children dancers from "SD4" (Elementary<br />

School 4) are tired.'<br />

If the verb of the relative clause is transitive, the<br />

presence or the absence of nvang makes a difference in<br />

meaning. (37b) is an example of the same type as above.<br />

nvang must be omitted because the entire phrase (the head NP<br />

and the relative clause) is modified by kamoe 'weexc.'
