Notes
- Kharrash is SVO.
- The demonstrative "heng" precedes the noun it modifies.
- Adjectives precede the nouns they modify.
- Adverbs follow the word or clause they modify. An adverb at the end of a sentence is often modifying the entire preceding clause.
- Other grammatical particles follow the word or clause they modify.
- Possessive "X's Y" is formed by Y directly following X, e.g. "di falh" for "my fire" (lit. "me fire").
