Re: Relative clauses

The verb in Senjecas is marked only for mood:
-a = indicative,
-o = subjuncive,
-e = imperative.
I want to indicate a relative clause by a marked verb; there are no
relative pronouns or adverbs in Senjecas. I want to indicate this
with a -u ending on the verb. Can I call this the relative mood?
Since there is no definite or indefinite article in Senjecas, I
thought a generic form of the verb would be helpful.
nibêes óósvi µêrsa = "cheetahs run swiftly" or "the cheetahs run
swiftly."
I want to use the preposed particle _im_ to do this. Thus:
nibêes óósvi im µêrsa could only mean "cheetahs run swiftly."
My question is whether this is a generic mood or generic aspect or
what.
