1 The Elective and Interrogative Forms are identical.

Verbs
All verbs have three components: the stem, the root vowel, and the N-ending. Verbs are conjugated to tense (past, present, future), aspect (simple, progressive, perfect), mood (indicative, subjunctive, imperative), and voice (active, passive).

In most cases, except for some irregular auxiliary forms, the stem remains unmodified.

The root vowel determines the class of the verb and how the verb is conjugated.

The N-ending of a verb comes in two forms: -n, where nothing but -n comes after the root vowel, and -Cn, where consonant(s) and vowel(s) are between the root vowel and ''-n. ''The type of ending also affects how the verb is conjugated.

The verbs used for auxiliary purposes are: deyn (to do), heyn (to finish), zædn (to be like), bonn (to become), and zeyn (to be).

Class 1 (-ey-): Verbs of Motion
Class 1 verbs are mainly verbs that involve motion, progression, and comsumption.

Infinitive Form: -eyCn

1C is the additional consonant, Co is the unvoiced consonant, and Cf is the fricative consonant

2Inf. is the infinitive

Class 2 (-o/oy-): Verbs of Change
Class 2 verbs are mainly verbs that involve speech, perception and change.

Infinitive Form: -oCn, -oyCn

1 Cv  is the voiced consonant

Class 3 (-æ-): Verbs of State
Class 1 verbs are mainly verbs that involve modality, emotion, and thought.

Infinitive Form: -æCn

Modal Particles

 * ja, ha: (sentence-final) declarative
 * ja: (precedes addressee) vocative, exclamatory
 * ne: (sentence-final) makes a statement rhetorical
 * cha: (sentence-final) suggestion
 * jo: (sentence-final) gives the sentence a tone of reminding the addressee
 * vu: (sentence-final) applies a diminutive tone to the entire sentence

Adjectives
All adjectives end in a vowel and precede the noun that they modify. If used as a predicative, the case ending is not required and the adjective comes after the subject.

Adverbs
-zæ is the ending attached to turn adjective into an adverb. Adverbs come before the verbs they modify.

Adpositions
Most adpositions are prepositions, some of which have postpositional and adverbial forms. The noun that complements the adposition will decline based on the direction of motion designated by the speaker. If the direction of motion is toward a location, the noun will be accusative; if it is moving away, dative. Tf the motion is oblique to, or if there is no motion at all, the locative case is used.

Syntax
Due to the extensiveness of the case system, word order can be very flexible. However, the basic word order is SVO, where the indirect object precedes the direct object. The affirmative dodt and the negative kédt most come directly before the verb, even if word order is changed.

A more detailed version of word order:
 * Subject
 * Affirmative/Negative
 * (Direct/Auxiliary) Verb
 * Indirect Object
 * Time
 * Place
 * Manner
 * Direct Object
 * Main Verb
 * Adverb

Order of Importance
Instead of using SVO word order, words can arranged based on order of importance like a topic-comment system. The topic(s) would be placed at the beginning of the sentence, and would then be followed by a VSO comment. A sentence can have no more than two topics before the verb. Relative clauses follow topic-comment word order and are introduced by the marker da.

Questions
Questions are treated like topic-comment sentences, where the interrogative acts as the topic. If the question is polar, then the polar marker treated as the topic.

Subjunctive Word Order
Sentences with subjunctive forms of a verb can either have an SVO or VSO word order. VSO word order is more common in formal writing and old-fashioned speech, though there would be no distinction between a formal statement and the interrogative of the SVO form. Therefore, a question involving the subjunctive in the formal form must be introduced by the polar marker hemét.

Multiple Verbs
If there are multiple verbs in a sentence, the direct verb (the action that the subject performs) is treated as the verb of the sentence, and the main verb (the verb being influence by the action) is treated as an object that follows all other objects. A verb whose conjugation involves an auxiliary also follows this behavior. However, if the sentence is arranged based on topic-comment (with the main verb being the topic), then the direct verb is moved to the end.
 * Ex. Ybj kédt næd zhevj roln. (1st-person-nom. not can-pres. fem.-acc. call) [I cannot call her.] næd is the direct verb that influences the main verb roln. roln is treated as an object and is placed at the end of the sentence.
 * Ex. Ybj kédt næts zhevj geroln heys. (1st-person-nom. not can-pres. fem.-acc. call-pluperf.) [I could not have called her.] The typical order of the present perfect heys geroln has been reversed due to the presence of næts. Note that the usage of heys in this sentence is permitted (though highly formal and almost never used in speech), and matches the conjugation of nædn.
 * Ex. The question "Have you called her before?" can be written in two ways: Hey nebj zhevj geroln vyth? or Geroln nebj zhevy vyth hey?
