Word of God
In-universe reconstruction
Syntax
The Proto-Trans-Sarnathian word order was T1 S T2 V O. In Old Thean, T2 becomes cliticized or lost. In Early Old Thean, T1 is the only word that inflects in a sentence.
In later OTh, T1 becomes an invariable tense or discourse particle
A T1 particle of some sort might be mandatory in Classical Thean but not in Modern Thean
