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").
