Datapoint Diu Indo-Portuguese/Order of relative clause and noun

In Diu Indo-Portuguese, a relative clause can be indicated by a relative particle ki or by a set of relativizers (equivalent to the set of interrogative pronouns, with the exception of uki) which are sensitive to the epistemic domain of the relativized element. The use of such relativizer is considered more acrolectal and it is much less common than the particle ki.
