Could you provide context? We have "temci", "cimde", and "canlu", but if this
has something to do with the theory of relativity, a word for "relative"
doesn't seem to have been made up yet. There are also several ways to
translate "and".

For “relative”, “terckini” comes close, though not quite it; does it not?

Or course, thinking a bit more semantically, the “relative” here is meant more in the sense of “existing or possessing a specified characteristic in comparison to something else and not necessarily absolute”. So, perhaps a translation of “dependent characteristic” would be correct? “selsa’u selckaji”, maybe? Is “sel” transitive, allowing Me to say “selsa’uckaji”? Or would it have to be applied to both?
