Abstract
The focus of this paper is the presence or absence of the resumptive pronoun in relative clauses in Late Egyptian. Particular attention is given to the causative construction (rdi sḏm.f/sḏm.tw.f) when rd'i is itself conjugated in a relative form. In LEg, the resumptive pronoun is conspicuously absent. The construction rd'i + infinitive is also investigated, which appears to be quite common in Late Egyptian. It is suggested that this construction might have developed in Upper Egypt, where it tends to supersede the pattern rd'i + subjunctive with otherwise very common verbs, like b3k, ŝsp, ẖdb, and grg.
