ccomp: clausal complement
A clausal complement of a verb or adjective is a finite dependent clause which functions like an object of the verb or adjective.

ccomp(Διαβεβαίωσε, συνεχίσουν)
For clausal complements for nouns, see acl .
For clausal complements where the subject of the complement clause obligatorily
corefers with an argument (subject or object) of the higher clause, see xcomp.

The relative pronoun όσος may introduce clauses that depend on a verb with the ccomp function as in the example in CONLLU format below. This example could be paraphrased to the fully synonymous στο μάτι έβαλε η Τρόϊκα όλους όσους είναι κάτω από 62 “Troika targets those who are less than 62 years old” where the object όλους” is explicit and the pronoun *όσους has it as an explicit target.

In the case of the omission of the verb in a sentence introducing direct speech, a phenomenon common in oral language, the subject is promoted as the head of the main clause. The direct speech functions as a ccomp.
Κι εγώ:« Ε, κερά, να μου μάθετε τσι γητειές;». “And I gο: ‘Hey, madam, can you teach me the spells?”
Κι εγώ:« Ε, κερά, να μου μάθετε τσι γητειές;».
