Indirect objects are placed after the subject and object whenever possible.
Indirect objects are placed after the subject and object whenever possible.
==== ''Adverbs'' ====
Adverbs are placed after the word they modify
==== ''Adjectives'' ====
Adjectives are placed directly after the noun they modify, when stacking adjectives these must be separated by the particle ''''a''' to avoid their adverbalization
==== ''Adpositions'' ====
Adpositions need to be located after a verb, if no verb is present then a reference marker is placed to act as one.

==== ''Adverbs'' ====
|-
Adverbs modify the preceding word, meaning that they automatically nest, in order to have multiple adverbs modifying the same word a coordinating conjunction is needed.
| {{smallcaps|pst.pfv}}.climb cat.{{smallcaps|nom}} tree.{{smallcaps|abs.pat}} <font color="#0B0">{{smallcaps|orm}}</font> <font color="#B00">next.to</font> house.{{smallcaps|abs.pat}}

{| class="wikitable"
==== ''Adjectives'' ====
|-
Since adverbs and adjectives can be used interchangeably trough zero derivation, in order to avoid their nesting and adverbalization, multiple adjectives need a coordinating conjunction between them.
| {{smallcaps|pst.pfv}}.eat kids.{{smallcaps|nom}} food.{{smallcaps|abs.pat}} <font color="#0B0">{{smallcaps|srm}}</font> <font color="#B00">on</font> floor.{{smallcaps|abs.loc}}

#PST.PFV.fly away bird.NOM ("the bird flew away") / PST.PFV.fly away ("flew away")

While answer #2 would be considered 'dumb' or 'smartassy' in english, in Riagi it is the proper answer to what was asked. If the circumstances which allowed the bird to fly away are what are being asked, then the origin/reason interrogative determiner is used, which is translated to english as 'why', 'wherefrom' or 'whence'.
