<div>I would like to point out that it is not uncommon outside of Europe to find relative clauses marked by pronominal words which are not relative pronouns in the sense of Comrie and Kuteva in that they do not exhibit case marking, but are still pronominal
in the sense that they vary for pronominal features like gender and/or number.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In the description of relativization in WALS (features 122A and 123A), the relative pronoun strategy is shown to stand out “as
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt">being typically European since it is not found in Indo-European languages spoken outside Europe, and is exceptional more generally outside Europe” (Comrie & Kuteva 2013). This strategy is defined as follows:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">“</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt">[T]he position relativized is indicated inside the relative clause by means of a clause-initial pronominal element, and this pronominal element is case-marked (by case
or by an adposition) to indicate the role of the head noun within the relative clause.” (Comrie & Kuteva 2013)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The only language outside the European area shown to use this strategy is Acoma, Keresan language of New Mexico.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Could anyone lead me to examples of the relative pronoun strategy used in other languages outside Europe? Also, could anyone provide such examples from Acoma or related languages? (I can’t seem to find any
in the descriptions of Keresan languages that I have examined.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
