There is a common nominalizing strategy in Sereer involving the particle na and its distant past tense form -iina. This is used for predicate nominalization as well as relativization.

Interestingly, na-nominalization can layer:

 xabiy xadak axa mbelna mbodaxna
 ‘the two fruits that are delicious that are sour’
