In this previous post and this previous post, I talked about stranded material in Copala Triqui.
In the texts, the richest natural source of stranding is found in relative clauses. Consider the following complicated passage, which has two strandings of rihaan 'to':
Another context for naturally occurring strandings is the contrastive negation construction Nuveé NP V... 'It is not NP that...'
The last clause here is literally 'It is not God who they give that meat to'
