## Independent Clause Structure Most of the time L'ewa sentences have only one clause. This can be anything from a single verb to a subject, verb and object. However, sometimes more information is needed. Consider this sentence: ``` The dog which is blue is large. ``` This kind of a relative clause would be denoted using `hoi`, which would make the sentence roughly the following in L'ewa: ``` le wufra hoi blanu xi brado. ``` The particle `xi` is needed here in order to make it explicit that the subject noun-phrase has ended. Similarly, an incidental relative clause is done with with `joi`: ``` le wufra joi blanu ke brado the dog, which by the way is blue, is big. ```
