No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain.

Definition
- 1Proposition subordonnée qui qualifie un nom adjacent, souvent marquée par un relatif. Par exemple, dans L’homme qui traversait le village, la proposition subordonnée qui traversait le village est relative, car elle qualifie le nom homme. Au contraire, dans Je pense que nous allons y aller maintenant, la proposition subordonnée que nous allons y aller maintenant ne qualifie aucun nom : la proposition n’est donc pas relative mais conjonctive ici.
