====Sentences with Identifiers====
Because identifiers do not have slots available for a noun's consonants or a verb's vowels to fit in, they must accompany a classifying noun or verb which indicates their role in the sentence. The identifier most commonly follows their classifying verb or noun. For people's names, the most common classifier used is '''''hiilemi''''' "the named one is named".
