Word order is free and words can combine (with free root order inside the compound words), under notice of these rules:

Compound words are made by just combining two words. If one word is describing another, that word comes after the word it’s describing.

Noun clauses combine all the words in said clause, but the noun clause marker (NCM), -tev is used at the end of the word.

Adjectives can be suffixed to its corresponding noun, or can be left as a separate word (albeit with a linking particle connecting it to the noun). This can be done with any part of speech that describes other parts of speech. By default adjectives describe nouns, adverbs describe verbs, and nouns describe verbs.

The following linking particles can be chosen in any order, as so to keep the intended meaning.

descriptor - used for the word describing another word

nao-, mao-, zao-, vao-, kzao-, kvao-, kao-, tao-

descriptee - used for the word described

nawe-, mawe-, zawe-, vawe-, kzawe-, kvawe-, kawe-, tawe-

vomzaj being a heavily agglutinative conlang, uses multiple affixes for each word. The order of affixes are as follows:

VERBS:
LP-ROOT-TAM(-NCM)

NOUN:
LP-ARTICLE-ROOT-CASE(-NCM)

ADJECTIVE:
ROOT-COMPARISON-CASE(-NCM)
