About Western Ngycetian
The savannah provides ample food to those willing to scour to find it, or those strong enough to take down one of the many species of megafauna that roam the toasty plateau. Coordinating is key, and coordination requires action. Word order in Western Ngycetian languages defaults to VSO, with SVO and VOS also being common.
