-====The Verb Phrase====
-The following example demonstrates a complex verb predicate, with the Inverse marker ''ta='' cliticizing to the coverb ''yam'' (accompany) in the Imperfect aspect, followed by the main verb ''yayak'' (go up a mountain) with the Hearsay Evidential clitic ''=kor'', and finally the copular verb marked with the secondary Inverse clitic ''tā=''.

-[[File:Nankore VP.png|thumb|Diagram of the Nankôre Verb Phrase]]
-The verbal elements follow a relatively strict order.  The required elements for a VP to be well-formed are the Main Verb and the Copula.  Adjuncts are unbound morphemes, and exhibit rather free order; however, they are barred from appearing between the Inverse Marker and any following verb, be it the Coverb or the Main Verb.  If a Coverb appears between the Inverse Marker and Main Verb, an adjunct may appear between the Coverb and Main Verb.  However, if the Inverse Marker is not followed by a Coverb, then an adjunct may not appear between the Inverse Marker and the Main Verb.  Moreover, if Quasi-Noun Incorporation (QNI) takes place, an adjunct may not intervene between the Main Verb and the quasi-incorporated noun (QIN).
