Abstract

[An earlier paper tried to prove on the basis of 390 Hittite examples that the relative kwis developed from the indefinite kwis. The present paper aims to show on the basis of the same 390 examples how the relative thus formed from the indefinite, at first used only in a restrictive or generalizing sense, eventually acquired also a non-restrictive or definite sense.]
