[comments] Basic word order is VSO with the object being optional. Verb or subject only sentences are permitted but the placeholder "ja" must be used to ensure that the correct meaning is conveyed. The advanced word order is below and the notation is as follows, anything in (brackets) is optional and anything in [brackets] is a non-manditory affix
(Interjection)
(Question)[Clarifying Suffix]
[Negative][Tense][Alternate Meaning]Verb[Mood][Pronoun Suffix**]
(Subject)[Case Marker][Pronoun Suffix**]
(Postposition)
(Adjective)
(Direct Object)[Case Marker][Pronoun Suffix]
(Postposition)
(Adjective)
(IO Prefix+Indirect Object)[Case Marker][Pronoun Suffix**]
(Postposition)
(Adverb)[Auxiliary Verb Suffix]
***(Conjunction)
Notes:
Verb and adverb only sentences are possible by adding l'ni as a suffix to the last word, that being the adverb
*Can't have more than one case per VS or VSO couples
**Pronoun Suffixes are optional
***Conjunctions are always placed at the end of a sentence to connect to the next one, then the structure begins anew e.g:
VSO|CONJUNCTION|VSO|CONJUNCTION|...
As many adjectives and adverbs are necessary can be used to describe the verb, subject or object but they all come after the suffixes on the verb, subject or object and before the postposition
