[Subject] [Verb] [Object] [Additionals]
Where the additionals can be prepositional phrases and adverbs.
Adjectives always follow the noun they belong to. A noun and an adjective are often interchangeable.
Only articles can be placed in front of the noun.
When a segment consists of more than two elements, it is closed by repeating the first word.
If, for instance, a noun is followed by two adjectives, the noun is repeated afterwards to close the group.
If a preposition is followed by a noun with an adjective, the preposition is repeated.
When repeating, the first half of the syllable, i.e. the consonant and semi-vowel, are omitted. In two-syllable words, only the last syllable-half remains.
