Indirect objects are placed after the subject and object whenever possible.
==== ''Adverbs'' ====
Adverbs are placed after the word they modify
==== ''Adjectives'' ====
Adjectives are placed directly after the noun they modify, when stacking adjectives these must be separated by the particle ''''a''' to avoid their adverbalization
==== ''Adpositions'' ====
Adpositions need to be located after a verb, if no verb is present then a reference marker is placed to act as one.

==== ''Adverbs'' ====
|-
Adverbs modify the preceding word, meaning that they automatically nest, in order to have multiple adverbs modifying the same word a coordinating conjunction is needed.
| {{smallcaps|pst.pfv}}.eat kids.{{smallcaps|nom}} food.{{smallcaps|abs.pat}} <font color="#0B0">{{smallcaps|srm}}</font> <font color="#B00">on</font> floor.{{smallcaps|abs.loc}}

***'''Adverb'''

**Conjunction
**'''Adverb'''
 
==== ''Adjectives'' ====
Since adverbs and adjectives can be used interchangeably trough zero derivation, in order to avoid their nesting and adverbalization, multiple adjectives need a coordinating conjunction between them.

**'''Adjective'''

**Conjunction
