===Word Order=== | ===Word Order=== | ||
The standard word order is | The standard word order is V2; when a phrase, clause, adverb, or adjective precedes the subject for emphasis, the second argument is always the verb. This can be demonstrated in the somewhat archaic or fanciful use "''From the ground'' '''grew''' the tree." Word order is flexible due to conjugations however the primary form for independent clauses is Subject-Verb-Object. Questions without interrogative pronouns(yes or no) have verb first and subject second. | ||
Dependent clauses have | Dependent clauses have a special word order: | ||
*Subject | |||
*Indirect Object | |||
*Direct Object | |||
*Instrument | |||
*Verb. | |||
Relative clauses follow the same pattern as independent clauses when appended to independent clauses and follow the dependent pattern when appended to a dependent clause. | |||
