Well, at the moment, filters are related either
i) tense or aspect, or ii) conjunctions ( or both!).

Let me give you some examples.

i) tense or aspect related filters

(ex.1) zekom winsa ettimaindime vinomicxu
zekom                      book
winsa                       (filter)  perfect aspect
winsa ettimaindime     which has been read by me
vinomicxu                  again and again

(ex 2) kseplyef gensa pacxaindimyatr
kseplyef                     bread
gensa                        (filter)  is about to be
gensa pacxaindimyatr   which ia about to be eaten by him/her

(ex. 3) okn kinsa oknaindim wesfas
okn                            game
kinsa                          (filter) make a habit to
kinsa oknaindim wesfas  which we make a habit to play

(ex. 4) Et awn ledeindem polsij, awn ettimeindem hiumni zekom.
I went to library and read a lot of books.
et                              I
awn.....awn                    (filter) and then
polsij                           library
hiumni                         a lot of

ii) filters used as a conjunction

(ex. 5) Et aif ikedmaindem hijazeksij, hju aif seniklaintem andikisij
kjeanpenilecu.
As you already know, I am a university student, but I am also working as a tutor
almost every day.
aif....aif                         (filter) and also
ikedmaindem hijazeksij    be a university student
hju                              but
seniklaintem andikisij       work as a tutor
kjeanpenilecu                 almost everyday

There are others, but I believe these examples should be sufficient to get the
picture of it.
