The verb is conjugated by person and gender and thus pronouns are largely unnecessary except for emphasis or clarification. The nouns are altered to denote case, greatly diminishing the need for prepositions. In addition, below are the basic syntax rules for word order: | ||
#The word order changes to Subject-Verb-Object only in the vocative case. | |||
#Adjectives are placed '''''before''''' the noun. | |||
#Adverbs are placed '''''after''''' the verb. | |||
#Interrogatives (who, what, et al) are placed '''''before''''' the verb. | |||
#The question marker (represented in the Leipzig Glossing Rules as '''Q''') is placed at the '''''beginning''''' of the sentence to denote a question. | |||
