=====Verbs=====

The position of verbs is less strict than nouns. They are preferably right-bound, and often appear at the end of a sentence, except when participles, wherein they tend to be left-bound and close to the noun they modify (e.g. ''kûnira ka’áp'' "the dog is taken" (non-participle) and ''ká’ap kûniru'' "the taken dog" (participle)). ~~Another important attribute of verbs is their influence upon case. Secondary cases~~

The position of verbs is less strict than nouns.

The syntax of verbs primarily affects case in nouns, pronouns, and pseudo-nouns in a variety of circumstances, mostly when objects (e.g. the difference between accusative ''asak āqfúl-un'' "I spoke with him" and nominative ''asuk āqfúl-un'' "I spoke next to him"). When subjects, however, there is a limited array of responses on how the relationship among case and verbal inflection behave.

: ''asu gaflá'' "he eats" (medio-passive voice triggers the subject as nominative)

''~~asak āqfúl-un~~'' "~~I spoke with him~~"

~~''masak āqfúl~~-~~un'' "whom I spoke with"~~
