A relative clause in English is usually rendered in Lhota [[214]]by the verb followed by wochi (lit. “go that”), often pronounced mochi for euphony.
A-na I echo-mō-chi wanted-one-the a-pia me-give
(i.e. give me the one I wanted).
The interrogative pronouns are, however, sometimes used as relatives.
A-na I kuwe what chonana wanted chi that a-pia. me-give.
The Verb. The verb is not conjugated for person and number. Certain suffixes are used to express tense. They are as follow:—
-a = perfect or future, the context giving the sense. It is also the termination of the imperative. Thus, from the verbal root tso = eat—
| Ana tsoa = | ![]() | I will eat. |
| I have eaten. | ||
| Tsoa = eat. | ||
