	Mirmio can substitute both noun and verb positions with a content clause.

Mirmio can substitute both noun and verb positions with a content clause. Uninflected content clauses are marked with a preclitic (''dl-'' before a vowel, ''dlõ-'' before a consonant) attached to the first word of the content clause.

	In example (1a), ''dl-'' is cliticized onto the animacy marker of the clause ''ácv dja'ukuh ~~rlòxnjkf~~'', allowng the clause to be placed in the initiator positon of “_ qùulkf nji'hu.”		In example (1a), ''dl-'' is cliticized onto the animacy marker of the clause ''ácv dja'ukuh rlòxnj'', allowng the clause to be placed in the initiator positon of “_ qùulkf nji'hu.”

	Relative clauses in Mirmio encompass both adjectival and adverbial clauses as they have the same behavior in the language.

Relative clauses in Mirmio encompass both adjectival and adverbial clauses as they have the same behavior in the language. Although relative clauses can have the same underlying word order as independent clauses, the word that is being modified by the relative clause is not represented inside of the relative clause.

	There are two classes of relative marker: continuous and discontinuous, both of which precede the relative clause and connect it back to its modifiee, but the continuous marker appears directly after the modifiee and the discontinuous modifier appears after another, previous relative clause (if present) modifying the same word. Similar to content clauses, inflected markers are complementizers and uninflected markers are clitics, however relative marker clitics are attached to the word preceding the relative clause rather than the first word in the relative clause.
