Grammar Notes

Word order in Tirelat depends on the verb. Stative verbs (sv) precede their subjects (VS), while dynamic verbs (dv) follow their subjects (SV), and transitive verbs (tv) go between the subject and the object (SVO). Modifiers such as adjectives and adverbs precede the word they modify, while longer modifiers (e.g. prepositional phrases) typically follow.
