===Phrase order=== | |||
The normal word order is subject-verb-object (SVO). It can however be disrupted for stylistic purpose into the much rarer subject-object-verb (SOV), and lastly into verb-subject-object (VSO). | |||
===Noun phrase=== | |||
The noun phrase begins with the definite article ''nâr'' (if present), then follows the adjective. These always precede the noun, whereas the numeral, the genitive and the relative clause always follow it. | |||
:''nâr amahhî yabika-aš bâlulun, ašakham bâšku…'' (‘the lord's single wise builder, seeing the stone…’) | |||
