main clause. For instance, *bartIqDaq leghbogh vIghro'mo' jIba'.* I don't think this works, because it would make the relative clause, which is a noun phrase, have multiple syntactic roles, which is generally forbidden.
Yes, somehow confusing. Maybe that's why it sounds to me like it means "I sit because of the cat which is seeing on the branch." (the cat is on the branch) I would change the word order to get the different intended meaning: {leghbogh vIghro'mo' bartIqDaq jIba'.} "I sit in the branch because of the seeing cat" or {bartIqDaq jIba' leghbogh vIghro'mo'.} "I sit in the branch because of the seeing cat" because I think the rule says that the locative must precede the sentence (here: the verb ba') and the -mo' part is a different clause [forgot the name] that stands separately. But I think i'm drifting off the original qestion. -- Lieven L. Litaer aka the "Klingon Teacher from Germany" http://www.klingonisch.de http://www.klingonwiki.net/En/TypeNounSuffixes
