Notes

General

1. Soc'ul' uses VSO and noun-adjective order, and postpositions.
2. Agreement (between 1st person, 2nd person, and class 1-5 3rd person) with both agent and patient are marked with verb prefixes.
3. Class-2 agent to class-2 patient is null-marked, and same-class agent-patient agreement can also act as intransitive agent marking.
4. Indefinite or impersonal heads (impersonal "you", "one", etc.) are generally implied by agreement, variably 2nd-person or class-2.
