NEG 1-know-what which 3r-say by person that

What is relativized here is something which urueno nvan
'that person' had said but the person who reported it could
not hear clearly. So he used peue 'what' to represent what
he had not heard clearly. This is also the case in English.
What is unusual is the fact that peue. which functions as a
head NP, is not a free word, but rather a morpheme belonging

Among the verbs listed in 2.2.1.4, nine can precede a
relative clause and contain a nominal morpheme that can
function as the head NP. The nine verbs are:
tusoe 'to know who'
tupeue 'to know what'
tupat 'to know where'
tuho 'to know to where'
turi 'to know which one'
tutoh 'to know which one'
tudum 'to know the number'
tudit 'to know the number'
tuoo 'to know the owner of
