Attributive phrases and clauses In the sentence above, la hundo ĉasis la katon, kiu estis en la ĝardeno 'the dog chased the cat, which was in the garden', the relative pronoun kiu 'which' is restricted to a position after the noun 'cat'.
Context is required to tell whether :la hundo ĉasis la katon en la ĝardeno means the dog chased a cat which was in the garden, or there, in the garden, the dog chased the cat.
For example, in :la hundo ĉasis la katon kaj la kato fuĝis 'the dog chased the cat and the cat fled', the inference is that the cat fled after the dog started to chase it, not that the dog chased a cat which was already fleeing.
For instance, hundo means either a male or female dog, virhundo means a male dog, and hundino means a female dog.
Other sequences of case are possible, though with different readings: fuĝis la hundo, kiu ĉasis ĝin 'the dog which chased it fled'; mi vidis la katon, kiun la hundo ĉasis 'I saw the cat, which the dog chased'.
