Sequencing of subject, verb, and object
Hârtón is a language with VSO sequence or SVO, in informal speech more frequently used form is SVO, even tho in standard and literal way VSO is more likely to be seen.
eg. "I eat peaches"-"Et konsumor fitċ ol(/Konsumo et fitċ ol)."
Morphosyntactic alignment
Sole, Agent and Object(oftenly refered as patient) are split up to two groups where Sole and Agent take same nominative case form, where the Object takes the dative case
eg.: "He likes her. He sleeps."-"Ilo êfeos ittar(/êfeos ilo ittar). Ilor starmos"
Passive voice
In passive voice the correct word order is SOV the reason is actually to distinguish both active and passive voice since passive oice is rarely ever used in this language, but in common speech it's SVO since it's heavily influenced by other languages with SVO structure
