Reconstruction notes
The status of as a relative pronoun already in Proto-Finnic is unclear, since it is only found in Finnish (although also more distantly in 🇨🇬). However, it exhibits a similar inflection pattern to and ; if it were not old, it would have to be interpreted as stemming from a reanalysis of an originally entirely indeclinable Proto-Finnic word  by analogy with the two aforementioned examples (which can also act as relative pronouns as well). Semantically speaking, an indeclinable determiner meaning "every, each" could have plausibly developed into a relative pronoun.

Inflection
the bare stem is used for inflection, with the suffix  used in forms that would otherwise be monosyllabic (nominative singular, nominative plural, genitive singular).
