 Ceticilian Cet's morphology is highly agglutinative, rendering smooth transitions between adjectives, nouns and verbs. Parts of speech may take on each other's role by affixation and word order.
-==Syntax==
+==Grammar==
+===Pronouns===
+Because of polypersonal agreement in Cet, pronouns are seldom needed in written form.

+Most of these cases can also act as verbs by adding a personal pronoun suffix. For example: "I sit down" can be rendered as "síttë" (seat + to + 1st person singular).
+===Tenses===
+In their most basic form, the tenses of Ceticilian Cet are derived from noun cases regarding motion to and from. On top of the basic tenses there are a few grammatical aspects specifying how verbs act over time.
