Sasxsek's method isn't anything creative or very different. It's an SVO language and a relative clause is introduced by the conjunction "kua" [kwa]. mo hat ren kua bit mo tu mi din. I hate person that strike I at previous day. I have toyed with ideas before about using something where only adjectives or even compounded nouns are used. If you're using VSO it might look something like this. hate I personhitmeyesterday The only thing with this is it's not completely clear. It could be that I hate the person who hit me, or I hate that I was hit, or maybe both.
