6.1.3 Head NP's<br />

1 inc~ ao any-time which 3r-ask go<br />

'We will go/come whenever he asks us to go/come.'<br />

In the examples that have been given so far, all<br />

relative clauses are preceded by a head NP. This is not<br />

always the case. Head NP's can be omitted in Acehnese. This<br />

will be dealt with in Section 6.1.3.3 below. The previous<br />

examples also show that the head NP always has the same<br />

definite reference as the relativized NP. Section 6.1.3.1<br />

will discuss some words used as head NP's which are<br />

indefinite. Subsection 6.1.3.1.1 will also deal with some<br />

words that contain head NP's.<br />

6.1.3.1 "tu-words" as Head NP's<br />

Except for -ne 'origin,' kbn 'reason,' p_> 'owner,' nvum<br />

'taste,' and bee 'smell,' all the "tu-words" listed in<br />

2.2.1.5 constitute special types of indefinite head NP's.<br />

They are often used with the meaning 'any.' nyang is<br />

obligatory in-these cases.<br />
