</span>I agree. The original sentence {jeSlaH ghoj neHbogh
nuvpu'} seemed<br>
weird to me too, with my original confusion being whether
the {nuvpu'}<br>
could be the subject of the {jeSlaH}, since it was so far
away from<br>
it.<br>

<div class="gmail_extra">Why not? It wouldn't be any further away
from the verb than it would be in a more usual relative clause
that didn't have a sentence as object, like {jeSlaH yuch neHbogh
nuvpu'} "The people who want chocolate can participate."</div>

<p>The sense of distance comes, not from the number of words, but
from the fact that you've got a sentence-as-object inside a
relative clause beforeĀ you ever get to the subject of the
original verb. That's a lot of grammar to parse mentally before
you find out what it is you're even talking about.<br>
