I really don't have much to add, but I think I can
make a clarification IN ENGLISH illustrated in Greek
that may be causing some ambiguity.

Dr. Conrad previously wrote;

"In Mt 28:6 DEUTE IDETE TON TOPON hOPOU EKEITO, the
relative clause hOPOU
EKEITO is adjectival and has TON TOPON as its
antecedent."

I agree with this, but it should be pointed out that
syntactically Adverbs do not DIRECTLY modify
Nouns/Pronouns. If one takes hOPOU as an Adverb, then
it is adverbial to the verb WITHIN ITS OWN clause
(EKEITO), not DIRECTLY to the antecedent in the main
clause (TON TOPON). The whole clause of which this
Adverb is a part is adjectival and modifies the noun,
but the Adverb does not DIRECTLY LINK to the Noun. I
can't speak to this in Greek, even though I have tried
to illustrate an English point with Dr. Conrad's
example. A relative clause is a sentence within a
sentence.
