yama-pali-auk has mostly free word order, the only requirement being that the subject is somewhere before the object. this is due to the lack of a subject or object marker. the verb, however, is clear, as it is marked for tense.

=== affixes === | |||
{| class="wikitable" | |||
|+ nouns | |||

when applying a vowel-initial suffix to a word that ends in a vowel, the original vowel is overwritten by the suffix's vowel. also, the two copulae (tek and muk, "to be" and "to be at" respectively) have the ''k'' removed. <br> | |||
''yel'' may be applied before or after any other suffixes, depending on what feels right for what you wish to say. | |||
{| class="wikitable" | |||
|+ pronouns | |||
|- | |||
! !! singular !! plural | |||
|- | |||
| first person || mi || mau | |||
|- | |||
| second person || ti || tau | |||
|- | |||
| third person || wi || wau | |||
|} | |||
technically, you could analyze the pronouns as just single letters taking the noun suffixes. however, it would not make sense to apply the verb suffixes to ''m-'', ''t-'', or ''w-'', especially because of how ''tek'' and ''muk'' take their suffixes. | |||
