acl: clausal modifier of noun
acl stands for clauses that modify a nominal. The acl relation contrasts with the advcl relation, which is used for adverbial clauses that modify a predicate. The head of the acl relation is the noun that is modified, and the dependent is the head of the clause that modifies the noun.
Kō re mati n ta ǃkhoema ǀgausa . \n Look PDIR how they IPFV run way .
acl(ǀgausa, ǃkhoema)
acl(way, run)
tsî ts ga satsa sîsen ǁaeb ai \n and you POT you work time on
acl(ǁaeb, sîsen)
acl(time, work)
A relative clause is an instance of acl, characterized by coreferentiality of the head noun with a constituent inside the embedded clause (either at the end of the clause or not realized overtly). acl:relcl subtype is used in Khoekhoe in such cases.
