[Note: The cases of the compound relatives are normally determined by
their function within the relative clause (though the function is sometimes
the same in the main and subordinate clauses); this is the common or se
ze relative (Mitchell, A Guide to Old English, 162, pp. 73-74). Occasionally
the relative case is determined by the case of the antecedent in the main
clause; this is the se'ze a relative, (Mitchell, ibid., 163, pp. 75-76)
and is indicated in this section by an asterisk. Sometimes the relative
case is determined by the sense and function of the demonstrative element
as it operates in the main clause without a direct antecedent of equivalent
case; this 'relative' (which is really the demonstrative plus indeclinable
ze, each with its own largely independent status) is indicated here by
a plus sign.]
