The form of a pronoun functioning as an antecedent relative clause is not determined by its function inside the relative clause. So there are no matching effects. These are obviated by the relative pronoun.

In the examples below, the form of the antecedent pronoun does not match the function of the relative pronoun in the relative clause. The two examples below involve an object pronoun, my me, corresponding to the subject of the relative clause (the subject form of this pronoun would have been ik I).

1
a. Oer wat my, dy't de tsjinst opsein hie, takaam
about what me who the job quit had to.came
About what was rightfully mine, who had quit the job
b. Help my, dy't allinne stean en oars neat haw as Jo
help me who alone stand and else nothing have than You
Help me, who stands alone and has nothing else than You

The examples indicate that a case conflict between the containing clause and the relative clause is allowed, and that in that case the pronoun takes on the case required by its function in the containing clause.
