Welsh relative clauses #

Welsh has two relative particles. A introduces a postnominal relative clause in which the relativized position is left empty, and it relativizes subjects and direct objects: y bachgen a oedd yn darllen 'the boy who was reading'. Y introduces a postnominal relative clause in which the relativized position holds a personal pronoun, and it relativizes everything from indirect objects down to objects of comparison: dyma'r llyfr y darllenais y stori ynddo 'here is the book in which I read the story', with the pronoun in ynddo 'in it'. The data are [KC77]'s.
