Word Order
SVO

This language is pretty strictly left headed, so As come after Ns and all that.

Stress
Stress is a fixed penultimate system.

But....... (Bryce don't kill me I just like the sound of this pronunciation better)..... There is a secondary stress system.

Feet are unweighted and trochaic, and assigned from the right. BUT it is a bridge system(?), so after the final foot receives its main stress, the initial foot gets secondary stress, then the penultimate foot, then the second foot, etc. If there is a syllable left over, it does not receive stress.

Relative Clauses
RCs are marked by the suffix -leda. This attaches to the V in the RC which immediately follows the N it describes.

Lexicon
Words can cross lexical categories easily. Like Toki Pona, the meaning and lexcat of a word is determined by its position, inflection, and context.
