A regular path expression is a subterm relation, where the set of allowed paths for the subterms is restricted to any given regular language. In the area of computational linguistics, this notion has been introduced as ``functional uncertainty''. We will prove that satisfiability is decidable by constructing a quasi-terminating rule system.} }
