Malagasy relative clauses #
Malagasy relativizes subjects only. The head noun is followed, optionally, by the invariable relativizer izay and then by the clause with the relativized position left empty, as in ny mpianatra izay nahita ny vehivavy 'the student that saw the woman'. Any other noun phrase must first be promoted to subject by the voice system and then relativized as a subject. The data are [KC77]'s.
