# In monoclausal sentences, the verb may be placed as the first constituent of the clause. In the sample sentence ''Rassibararu Anyarde suharak >> rassibar-ar-u anyar=de suharak'' (reach.for-PAST-TRANS [proper.noun]=ERG book) ",Anyar reached for the book" is well-formed, even though the verb occurs in sentence-initial position. Here, the reaching for the book ''rassibar'' has been fronted, thereby raising its saliency in the discourse.

# When the ~~clase~~ (always either an independent sentence, or the final clause in a clause chain) is joined to a sentence-final adjunct by a Postposed-Wa Construction. The following sentence, containing a sequential clause followed by the final clause of the sentence is well-formed: ''Sayyumperan iknitaharammā, kalluttaharaš wabbāk?'' >> ''sayyumpe=aran ikn-tah-ar-an=mā, kallut-tah-ar-an=š wa=bāk'' ([proper.noun=DAT go-2S.ABS-PAST-INTRANS=SUB eat-2S-PAST-INTRANS=IRREAL CONN=what) "You went to Sayyumpe['s house] and ate what???".
