Notes:
Introduces a dependent clause. ejavn is a crasis of eij and a[n. "Crasis" occurs when two words are "pushed together" to make one.
When ejavn appears after a relative pronoun (o{V), it has the effect of appending "-ever" to the end of the pronoun, just like a[n. o{V eja;n ... means "whoever ...."
