I have a question relating to the use of relative clauses when the
clause in question is a "to be" clause.
For example, suppose I wanted to translate "You, my friend, are strange."
I would use a relative clause: "You who are my friend are strange."
Now, "You are my friend" is jupwIj SoH, and I know from TKD 6.3
that pronouns may be treated as verbs in "to be" phrases.
Does this mean that the whole sentence should be translated as:
bIHuj jupwIj SoHbogh SoH
