You're describing the difference between restrictive and nonrestrictive 
clauses. I believe we still haven't seen nonrestrictive relative clauses.

To say /Our leader, who is fond of knitting, commands us to attend the 
meeting,/ you apparently can't say *qepDaq majeS 'e' ra' nIq 'e' tIvbogh 
DevI'ma'.* This means something more like /Our leader who is fond of 
knitting (as opposed to our other leader, who isn't) commands us to 
attend the meeting./ You'd have to split this up a bit: *qepDaq majeS 
'e' ra' DevwI'ma'. (nIq 'e' tIv ghaH.)*
