===Word order=== | |||
The default unmarked word order in {{PAGENAME}} is subject-object-verb as in ''I apples eat''. The alternate word order OSV is permitted when seeking to emphasise the object; an inversion of subject and object occurs, e.g. '''''truth''''' '' I speak''. | |||
Generally speaking, qualifiers precede the noun they modify. This does not go for class IV verbs to which a large semantic space of description goes; they correspond partially to what we would term adjectives, in truth they're more akin to stative verbs and are treated as such and thus go after the noun they modify. | |||
''petaken mirigeni'' | |||
