Anzurian uses the Fluid-S syntax (a subtype of active-stative). And, like in Spanish, the conjugation of a verb can imply the subject, thereby removing the need for stating the subject. When you put these two pieces together, you get a word that tells you who did what and whether or not they were in control of the act. Because of the lack of pronoun, the subject is marked as either the agent or the patient by placing the conjugating affix at either the beginning or the end of the word.

Example: '''Ivdama'''' is the Anzurian word for "to say", and the conjugating affix for "I" is "vi". So one could say "vidama'" for "I say [purposefully]" or "dama'vi" for "I say [accidentally]" (Note that the "Iv-" from the original word was removed because that affix puts it into the infinitive form)

That being said, the typical order of words in Anzurian is subject-object-verb. But since subject is frequently implied by the verb, it more often looks like object-verb.
