===Trisyllabic clauses===

Trisyllabic clauses consist of a single trisyllabic, which itself consists of two triphonemic ''roots'' a noun root (or subject root), consisting of three consonants, and a verb root (or predicate root), consisting of three vowels. The following table shows examples and is sortable by column.

| '''''meegovi''''' || The banana exists. || '''''m_g_v_''''' || the banana  || '''''_ee_o_i''''' || exists

| '''''xijumai''''' || There is a banana. || '''''x_j_m_''''' || something that exists  || '''''_i_u_ai''''' || is a banana

Inversion is the process of swapping the converting the noun root into a verb root and vice versa within a trisyllabic word. Many of the examples given above are inversions of another given example.  

For example, to invert the word '''''veelavi''''' "you eat", the noun root '''v_l_v_''' "you" is converted to its corresponding verb root '''_ai_e_ai''' "be you" and the verb '''_ee_a_i''' "to eat" becomes the noun '''x_n_m_''' "eater". This produces '''xainemai''' "the one that eats is you". Inversion usually results in radically differently looking words with an often fairly subtle shift in pragmatic meaning. '''''Veelavi''''' and '''''xainemai''''' don't share a single phoneme in common, and yet the meanings of "you eat" and "the eater is you" differ only in terms of topic and focus.
