A relative clause in Mayessa is introduced by the particle öm (+ interrogative) and a comma. Then the sentence goes on. The interrogative works like a relative pronoun in that case."It is the cat that I love" = sitas̨a üsemas̨e öm, samavos̨a - /ˈsta ysɛmaˈs:ɛ ˈœm asmaʋoˈs:a/ (literally "It is the cat that what, I love")
"It is what I want = sitas̨a ömeos, saghora - /ˈsta œˈmɛo̯s ˈsaɟjoɾa/ (literally "It is that what, I want")
"It is the man that I love" = sitas̨a üsiltu ömüvin, samavos̨a - /ˈsta yˈsiltu œˈmyʋin asmaʋoˈs:a/ (literally "It is the man that who, I love")
