Jarrda can use a number of different constructions, e.g.:

rral  no            cir   Dzheak
house in-context-of build Jack
the house that Jack built

rral  lho  cir   Dzheak
house that build Jack

But probably the most idiomatic method uses the Jarrda pronoun "zeu", which
stands for the following verb phrase.

rral  zeu            cir   Dzheak
house the-following: build Jack

Eklektu 2000 does it similar to Chinese:

Djäk stroi dè kasa
Jack build of house

I haven't got that far yet with Tirelat.
