Much like its presumed closest relatives in China, Hraayan has a strongly isolating grammar. Only one sublexical morpheme is used productively: the affix -yu, which marks pluractionality of the subject. It is placed on the verb, as a suffix by default, but if the verb root ends in a consonant, the affix is instead infixed, preceding this final consonant. This affix precedes the classifier and is the only morpheme to split a stem from its classifier in such a way. | Much like its presumed closest relatives in China, Hraayan has a strongly isolating grammar.
