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.
