* Present tense in '''-e-'''. | |||
* Subject pronouns are rare: Verbs are conjugated with endings that reflect their subject. | |||
* Plural pronouns are actual plurals and not unique lexemes (E.g. Eo ''mi ~ vi :: ni ~ vi'' (‘I, you :: we, you (all)’) Fo ''mu ~ tu :: muy ~ tuy'') | |||
* Numbers, articles, and other determiners are treated as adjectives (ending in '''-a''') and are declined as such (e.g. accusative in '''-n''' and plural in '''-y'''). | |||
* Genitive phrases tend to be adjectival (E.g. Eo. ''La libro de la infano'' (‘The child’s book’) Fo. ''La libro de lla kindu'' '''or''' ''La libro kinda''). | |||
* Adjectives follow nouns. (E.g. Eo. ''La nigra hundo'' (‘The black dog’) Fo. ''La kanu nera''). | |||
