Liturgical Origin River Wisdom is an agglutinating language that uses a OV(S) structure. More specifically, sentences are formed Direct Object > Verb > Subject > Indirect Object. Subject Pronouns may be ommitted from this structure because verbs agree with the person and number of the subject. Interrogative sentences are the only exception to this, structured SVO, as in English.| Human | he |

Liturgical Origin River Wisdom utilizes 4th and 5th persons. With the existence of the 4th person, referring to a third party not present, the 3rd person is used only to reference a third party present for the conversation. The 5th person is used as a passive construction, for example "One goes to work everyday."| -mo | -lo | -ɹo | -xo | -èṙ | ||
