+# In intransitive clauses, the copula takes the Direct forms only.
+# In transitive clauses, high animate core arguments are considered Agents by default.  Low animate core arguments acting as Agents license the Inverse marker ''ta-''; the Inverse marker cliticizes to the initial verb of the verb complex, and is prefixed to the copula; the low animate argument is thus doubly marked by the Inverse marker.
+# The pronominal animacy hierarchy is: 1st >> 2nd >> 3rd.  However, note that plural 3rd person arguments outrank all singular arguments.
+# The present tense, when used as a narrative tense, often refers to past events.  Adverbial markers referring to the distal past, such as ''yorai'', may thus appear with a present tense copula.
+# Rather than using cases or adpositions to indicate thematic relations, Nankôre employs coverbs in verb serialization.  See [[Nankôre#Directional-Positional_Coverbs]] for additional information.
+More information about the grammar can be found in the [[Nankôre]] wiki.  Readers are directed to the sections dealing with the animacy hierarchy and familiarize themselves with the direct-inverse marking system of the copula, as well as the [[Nankôre#The_Verb_Complex|verb complex]].
