Sentence order: VSO and SVO.

SVO is used in colloquial speech and everyday conversations, called Ular ( eg. 'Me heichè de hommø, I saw the man)

VSO is used in prose and poems, like the great saga Rihluch (unknown author), about the founding of CorDor. This type of speech is dubbed Omalt (eg. Heichè 'me de hommø, lit. saw me the man)

Sometimes in colloquial speech, while speaking fast, the ø suffix can be removed.

Adjective after noun. (eg. De fløofø møerå, lit. the cat big, actually the big cat)

For negatory sentences add "nu" after the subject in Ular, and before the verb in Omalt.

For questionary sentences, add a question marker to the start of the sentence in Ular: Qu serves as a general question marker, Qal implies "What", and 'Oe implies "Who". (eg. Qu 'tu is de hommø, meaning "Are you the man?")
