Finally, another possible antecedent for any relative clause, content clause, or event accessor clause is the word {{T|có}}. This word is essentially a lightweight placeholder for content to come at the end of the post-field, much like the 'it' in English "'''It''' delights me '''that''' they tried". The semantics of {{T|có}} are probably like {{T|sá raı}}, but with low scope. | Finally, another possible antecedent for any relative clause, content clause, or event accessor clause is the word {{T|có}}.

When {{T|có}} is used as the object of a preposition or the final verbal argument of a clause, it may be covert. This is how the subordinators {{T|ꝡä}}, {{T|lä}}, etc. come to still appear as if they have no antecedent most of the time. | When {{T|có}} is used as the object of a preposition or the final verbal argument of a clause, it may be covert.
