In Jorayn there is a realitive verb mood and a relative noun case. The word order is VOS so you have sentences like this. Here the object is relativized, and is replaced by a pronoun in the relative clause. I hate the book that you gave me. mahmnatyomo ovo'tskrivlor vrjoletaolm lii-l jor-l I.hate this.book you.gave-REL it-REL me-REL Here the subject is relativized, so there is no pronoun. hmnatyomo viilana-l I.love you.are:beautiful-REL I love you who are beautiful there is also a relative conjunction used when the clause being relativized is very large. or if there is another realtive clause within it. hmnatyomo lu vrjoletaomo larol cil jor ov'krintiir'kko I love you who gave me the flower that is blue yesterday.
