This page sets out to explain all you need to now about the relative clause markers poi and noi, how they differ with regards to description sumti, quantified and in the presence of quantifiers.

The article deliberately ignores pe, ne, po'u and no'u, because those are nothing more than shortcuts of poi and noi combined with specific predicates. Everything that applies to poi and noi directly applies to those cmavo, too. No separate explanations are required.
