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. | The verbal elements follow a relatively strict order.
