Nouns referring to places are the natural antecedents for adverbs of place. The relative pronoun of place is homophonous with the referential pronoun of place, to which the complementiser has been cliticised in the form of an alveolar plosive:

1
In stêd dêr't guon lju mei in protte wille wenje
a town where some people with a lot pleasure live
A town where some people live with a lot of pleasure

Dutch interference may be responsible for the fact that the question word wêr is sometimes used as a relative pronoun:

2
?In stêd wêr't guon lju mei in protte wille wenje
a town where some people with a lot pleasure live
A town where some people live with a lot of pleasure
