Object NP's are also topicalized within the predicate<br />

in Acehnese. Similar to the previous topicalized NP's, they<br />

6.1.6 Relativization of Peripheral NP's<br />

Peripheral NP's are adverbial NP's and NP's within PP's<br />

that functions as adverbs. Some adverbs are represented by a<br />

noun or NP, for example, uroe 'day,' malam 'night,' buleuen<br />

'month,' etc. When these nouns are relativized, nvanq is<br />

rarely used. Instead of nyang, a word for time is used,<br />

especially the word watee 'time, moment' or bak watee 'at<br />

the time' and yoh 'time, when.' The subject is either<br />

omitted (in context) or cliticized to the verb. The use of<br />

watee or bak watee is optional, and usually not used.<br />

When an adverbial NP is reJativized, the subject is<br />

usually cliticized to the verb or omitted in context.<br />

138. a) Gopnyan geu-jak uroe Rabu.<br />

Her ' 3r-go day Wednesday<br />

' He left on Wednesday.'
