====The Verb Phrase====

The following example demonstrates a complex verb predicate, with the Inverse marker ''ta='' cliticizing to the coverb ''yam'' (accompany), followed by the main verb ''yayak'' (go up a mountain) with the adverbial ~~clitic~~ ''=kor'', and finally the copular verb marked with the secondary Inverse clitic ''tā=''.

The following example demonstrates a complex verb predicate, with the Inverse marker ''ta='' cliticizing to the coverb ''yam'' (accompany), followed by the main verb ''yayak'' (go up a mountain) with the adverbial suffix ''=kor'', and finally the copular verb marked with the secondary Inverse clitic ''tā=''.

The ~~order of the~~ verbal elements follow a relatively strict order, ~~according to~~ the ~~following diagram:~~

The verbal elements follow a relatively strict order. The required elements for a VP to be well-formed are the Main Verb and the Copula. Adjuncts are unbound morphemes, and exhibits rather free order, but is barred from appearing between the Inverse Marker and the Coverb. If a Coverb appears between the Inverse Marker and Main Verb, an adjunct may appear between the Coverb and Main Verb. However, if the Inverse Marker is not followed by a Coverb, then an adjunct may not appear between the Inverse Marker and the Main Verb. Moreover, if Quasi-Noun Incorporation takes place, an adjunct may not intervene between the Main Verb and the quasi-incorporated noun (QIN), although bound adverbial affixes may.

[Inverse marker]=[Coverb] - [Adjunct] - Main Verb [=Adverbial] - [Quasi-IN] - Copula
