Examples in Baranxe'i:

Nikãb þinun ha’inun Dźēk sepnānis varānem.
nika<n>b þin-u-n ha'in-u-n Dźēk sepn-ān-i-s var-ān-e-m
house<ACC> PROX-INAN-ACC REL-INAN-ACC Jack build-PST-M-ABS see-PST-ANIM-1.SG
I saw the house which Jack built.

Valem ēþ Dźēk mandun nikãb sepnānis.
val-e-m ēþ Dźēk mand-u-n nika<n>b sepn-ān-i-s
know-ANIM-1.SG that Jack DIST-INAN-ACC house<ACC> build-PST-M-ABS
I know that Jack built that house.

Nikãb þinun ha’inuf xõ Dźēk hirdkānikśa varānem.
nika<n>b þin-u-n ha'in-u-f xõ Jack hird-k-ān-i-s-ka var-ān-e-m
house<ACC> PROX-INAN-ACC REL-INAN-ADPOS in Jack push-PASS-PST-M-ABS-3.PASS.ABS see-PST-ANIM-1.SG
I see the house where Jack was born.

Valem ēþ valet. | Valem ēþ valetun.
val-e-m ēþ val-e-t | val-e-m ēþ val-e-t=un
know-ANIM-1.SG that know-ANIM-2.SG | know-ANIM-1.SG ēþ know-ANIM-2.SG=3.INAN.SG.ACC
I know that you know. | I know that you know it.

So, the relative clauses are along the lines of "I saw the house; that, [which Jack built]|[in which Jack was born]". The proximal pronoun þinā agrees with the noun in the head clause, the relative pronoun ha’inā agrees with its role in the subordinate clause.

(The 1st person subject is implicit in all of these, except possibly the last one – note that there is a different particle used for attributive relative clauses, mo, which I have marked REL for relativizer, and for complements of verbs, maa, which I have marked COMP for complementizer. Effectively, REL is treated as an adjectival phrase and COMP is treated as a nominal phrase...)

Asuāneica does away with the double marking, although the suffixed definite marker -qe is related to the alternate Baranxe'i proximal clitic -hē, so the structure is superficially similar.

(knowing is in the class of verbs that I call propositional verbs, so it doesn't actually work without a complement clause; the second clause here is marked as null, which is why the complementizer is stressed)

Yagalian would handle most of these using a combination of the causal affix and reflexive pronouns.

I saw the house that Jack built.

PRN-1st-INT see-IND-NPS-PRO Jack-CAU RFX house-PSD build-IND-PAS-PER
Literally, "I seeing/will be seeing Jack-who caused himself House-which is owned to have been built(in the past)."
Or, "I am viewing the house which Jack himself built."

That verb, maije, is so flexible it can be used for knowing as well though the standard would be satja, both are intransitive however and so neither affects grammar in a different way from the other.

I know that Jack built that house.

The last phrase is treated as a normal Transitive phrase taking the Ergative and Accusative affixes for the last two nouns.

In Mekoshan all three of the subordinated verbs takes relative clause morphology, but in the 3rd one the subordinate clause follows the locative case particle è.

I belive it was I that gave the "I know that you know" example elsewhere, I'm not going to repeat it.

Saerienne

I saw the house that Jack built.

I know that Jack built that house.

And, regarding later posts,

I know what you know.

I would recommend against using the beta in your conlang's orthography-- it sticks out and looks ugly. Use "bh" or something instead. (I assume that stands for /B/?...) Also what's with the capital letters, are you going some kinda Klingon style or something?
