Grammar
A text consists of sentences obligatorily split with sentence conjunctions. A sentence conjunction ends with -ux, e.g.

andux - and,

butux - but,

thatux - that.

The intransitive verb in this language is expressed as an adjective or as a noun. That's why there could be the following parts of speech at the top of the sentence: noun, verb, diverb, triverb.

A verb, a diverb, and a triverb obligatorily have subject. They differ in the ending sets and in the last vowel of the base.

A verb in this language is a verb with exactly one object. The base ending is -u + endings are -r, -ris. E.g.

hugur - to hug (who, whom),

searchur - to search (who, what),

buildur - to build (who, what).

A diverb is a verb with two objects. The base ending is -e + endings are -r, -ris, -rus. E.g.

allower - to allow (who, whom, what),

thanker - to thank (who, whom, for what),

jealouser - to be jealous (who, of whom, to whom).

A triverb is a verb with three objects. The base ending is -a + endings -r, -ris, -rus, -res. E.g.

exchangear - to exchange (who, with whom, what, for what),

translatear - to translate (who, what, from what, to what),

punishar - to punish (who, whom, with what, for what).

-r means the straight order of the subject and objects.

-ris means the inversion of the subject and the first object.

-rus means the inversion of the subject and the second object.

-res means the inversion of the subject and the third object.

The word order is relatively free, but one must follow the order of objects and the subject must be before objects, e.g.

verb subject object,

subject verb object,

subject object verb,

diverb subject object1 object2,

subject diverb object1 object2,

subject object1 diverb object2 etc.

There may be a verb participle in a sentence. It additionaly describes verbs, and plays a role of english prepositions. A verb participle has a verb base, or a diverb base, or a triverb base + endings -l, -lis, -lus, -les. The choice of the ending is the same as for verbs: -l the straight order, -lis the inversion of the first object and the subject, -lus of the second object and -les of the third object. The subject of the verb participle is the main verb, while the number of objects depend on the base type. E.g.

inul foresti - in the forest,

underul bedi - under the bed,

whileul houri - in one hour,

allowelus ii parenti - with the parent permission for me,

exchangealus hei shei thati - in her exchange with him for that.

A verb participle is analogous to the participle, but is a special part of speech to make the word order more free. A participle strictly follows the main word, while a verb participle may be in the beginning or in the ending of the sentence or before the verb or after the verb. E.g. these equal variants of the phrase "I drink water in cafe" are:

inul cafei ii drinkur wateri

ii inul cafei drinkur wateri

ii drinkur inul cafei wateri

ii drinkur wateri inul cafei
