6.1.8 Non-Restrictive Relative Clauses
Non-restrictive relative clauses are similar in form to
restrictive relative clauses. They come from two independent
sentences (Ross,. 1967c, 6.158),^ one of which modifies or
gives some detail about an NP in the other sentence. When
the two are combined, the one that modifies an NP becomes a
non-restrictive relative clause. For example, when (a.2)
below, which clarifies the NP nek 'grandmother' of sentence
(a.l) are combined, as in (173b), (a.2) becomes a (non-
restrictive) relative clause modifying the head NP nek.
173. a.l) Bek ka-jak jbk ruti kreueh keu nek.
Don't 2y-go give cake hard to grandmother
'Don't give the hard cake to grandmother.
