Relative pronoun romelits and its case forms (romelmats, romelsats), cased by the role inside the relative clause.
I can describe people and things with relative clauses, casing romelits correctly.
Look at these examples. Can you spot the grammar pattern?

Pay attention to the highlighted parts. What do they have in common?
რომელიც (which/who) takes the case of its role INSIDE the relative clause: nominative რომელიც, ergative რომელმაც (transitive-aorist subject), dative რომელსაც (object). The head noun's case outside is irrelevant - read the small clause on its own and case the pronoun accordingly.

romelits in the nominative - it is the object of a verb whose subject is ergative.
მეზობელი, რომელმაც დაგვეხმარა, ექიმია.
The neighbor who helped us is a doctor.
Inside its clause the pronoun is a transitive-aorist subject, so it goes ergative: romelmats.
