Non-verb-final word orders are possible, but are practically only ever used in poetry in order to fit into particular metres. | Non-verb-final word orders are possible, but are practically only ever used in poetry in order to fit into particular metres. | ||
====Complement order==== | |||
The typical organization of the sentence is, therefore: | |||
'''Sentence with explicit topic:'''<br/> | |||
explicit topic — temporal complement — (anti)benefactives — compl. of manner~essive case — locative complements — semantic patient — semantic agent — direct argument — verb — sentence-final particles | |||
'''Sentence with unmarked topic:'''<br/> | |||
unmarked topic — temporal complement — (anti)benefactives — compl. of manner~essive case — locative complements — semantic patient — semantic agent — verb — sentence-final particles | |||
Note that temporal complements may, in certain circumstances, act as if they were explicit topics, but not marked with ''ba''. In that case, the structure followed is, in fact, the same as for sentences with explicit topics, i.e. with the direct argument immediately preceding the verb. | |||
