Spoiler:

Alál has a finite attributive verb system for relative clauses that requires the head noun of the clause to be the first argument of the verb, and has a repertoire of voice-changing gymnastics to get it there. Ngäliv Ëra has a mess of movement and phrase-interleaving going on, as usual. And now apparently this 'Undercommon' thing (still need a new workable endonym but this has far outgrown the Pathfinder campaign for which it originated) allows an attributive verb construction in subject-headed clauses (seocha'n-Man the man who saw me), but otherwise requires a resumptive pronoun (Man an er sech the man whom I saw). Huzzah. Sometimes I like to pretend I'm a syntactician but I never took classes past Syntax I in undergrad and now I just do morphophonology and nod my head like I know what's going on whenever people talk about island effects.
