Thx. OK. As for instance "le prenu". But suppose I
don't know whether the said translator is a person or
something else, say an alien or something. What's
the most generic sumti I could put there? Would "tu"
work? Or "da" ? Any sumti meaning "person(s) or
thing(s) or anything else" would work fine. If it's
short, so much the better.

> Or you could just use "xu do fanva la abiUORD".

You see, I asked the above questions because I'd like
to translate some other headless relative clause into
lojban, and "xu do fanva la abiUORD" just doesn't work
for that one.
