Revision: 9677

Log Message:
-----------
A fairly complete implementation of relatives (qualificative nouns with a fossilised noun class prefix) and adjectives (qualificative nouns with a alternating noun class prefix). This covers several cases that doesn't even occur in the currently available corpus. This still needs review but is usable for now.
