[Hittite evidence indicates that the relative kwi- kwo - is a development of the indefinite. In Hittite a subordinate relative clause can scarcely be distinguished from a coordinate indefinite clause. A typical sentence can mean either ‘some utensils are there, and these he picks up’ or ‘which utensils are there, these he picks up’. Six features that characterize the indefinite type are found to be present in an overwhelming majority of examples of the relative type, 390 of which have been examined.]
