As mentioned in Typology, Grayis is a verb-final language, and as such, adverbs always immediately precede the verb. In the case of negation, negatives come between the verb and other adverbs. TAM particles, if present, always directly precede the verb after negatives. | As mentioned in Typology, Grayis is a verb-final language, and as such, adverbs always immediately precede the verb.
