Broadly speaking, Proto-Haïdic is reconstructed as having a nominative-accusative morphosyntactic alignment system, as opposed to the Bäladiri alignment system of [[Proto-Maro-Ephenian]]. Nouns in Proto-Haïdic decline for three cases; the [[w:Nominative case|nominative]], [[w:Accusative case|accusative]], and [[w:Genitive case|genitive]]. The verb agrees with its subject in person and number. | |||
