Part of speech. There is noun, noun whose root acts as a verb, adjective derived from the both, finally particle derived from the verbal root. Adjectives indicate what a subject is. Verbs express what a subject does or is.
Structure is as follows. A main clause constructs particle + agentive/subjective noun + verb + object, a subject/topic may follows. A clause of a verb + a complement is either indication of what the subject does or is, or acts as a noun. A clause of a verb + a complement + a noun is a noun. A clause of a verb + a complement + suffix, acting as an adjective, modifies a noun.
Frontings. A connective noun/focused word/interjection in the usage, that are before the main clause. Also an adjective clause/conditional noun is in front of main clause in a clause + clause construction.
