Re: Resumptive pronoun?

If I have a sentence, literally "The shirt, the one that you wear, it is
green", or "The island, the place at which there is a tree, is over there",
are "the one that" and "the place that" resumptive pronouns or not? >>

    This is how I make or define my relative pronouns in just about every
language I've ever created.  In Megdevi:

Zulo: the time, at the time
ZijE: the reason, for the reason
ZIm: the thing
Zejl: the one, the person
Zin: the kind, the kind of
Z&Ru: the manner, the way, in the manner, in the way

    Oh, geez, I've forgotten the rest...  It's too early.  Anyway, [Zi] is
the definite article, so I attached it to the normal endings for those
corelatives.  They're what I use as relative pronouns.  ZijE, though, I also
use for the word "because".  In another one of my languages, I have a
corresponding set that means "a time", "a one", "a thing", etc.  So, you can
be more specific: "A car I saw yesterday is red".  You'd use "a one" there
since you probably saw lots of cars yesterday.  Anyway, I like these guys.
