[Tlhingan-hol] direct vs indirect relative clauses

<font color='black' size='2' face='arial'>Can I use the topic marker {-'e'} in the following manner?
<div><br>
</div>

<div>1) qama' mupbogh 'avwI''e' vIHoH = I killed the guard who struck the prisoner</div>

<div>
<div>2) qama''e' mupbogh 'avwI' vIHoH = I killed the prisoner whom the guard struck</div>
</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div>I don't think the topic marker is required in #1, but I added it for clarity of comparison.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div>If so, then would the reverse also hold?</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div>
<div>3) mulegh qama' mupbogh 'avwI''e' = the guard who struck the prisoner sees me</div>

<div>4) mulegh qama''e' mupbogh 'avwI' =&nbsp;<span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">the prisoner whom the guard struck sees me</span></div>
</div>

<div><br>
</div>
