Commentary

Provides relativisation of subjects (see WALS 122A), but not relativisation of obliques (see WALS 123A). Unlike ki, more typical relative constructions (usually two clauses linked via ni) support both.

Usage Trend

Before 2022, the survey asked "Do you consider this word real?"; After 2022, the question was changed to "Do you use this word?". Therefore, results before and after 2022, marked by the red line, are not comparable.
