 The verbal elements follow a relatively strict order.  The required elements for a VP to be well-formed are the Main Verb and the Auxiliary.  Adjuncts are unbound morphemes, and exhibit rather free order; however, they are barred from appearing between the Inverse Marker and any following verb, be it the Coverb or the Main Verb.  If a Coverb appears between the Inverse Marker and Main Verb, an adjunct may appear between the Coverb and Main Verb.  However, if the Inverse Marker is not followed by a Coverb, then an adjunct may not appear between the Inverse Marker and the Main Verb.  Moreover, if Pseudo-Noun Incorporation (PNI) takes place, an adjunct may not intervene between the Main Verb and the Pseudo-incorporated noun (PIN).
