Concerning Stars:
There are four kinds of stars.
The first kind are called Moving-Ones because they go across the night sky.
The second kind are called Stationery-Ones because they are far from the sun.
The third kind are called Dying-Ones or Falling-Ones because they go to the world from the night sky.
The fourth kind are called Unknown-Ones because they become visible far away in the night sky for only a moment. These stars are the kin of the sun made burnt by a deity with much anger.

A       Causative marker - comes before noun - marks a causer or agent of something
ASP     Aspect marker - can go anywhere, but usually precedes a relational - tells something about a relational.
CONJ    Conjunction - sometimes coordinating, sometimes not, either way these precede the things connected - connects nouns, phrases, or clauses.
IEN     ien - precedes a noun or phrase - marks a comment to a topic, marks an equivalent to a part.
IL      Durative - begins a phrase/clause - tells when.
LOC     Locative - begins a phrase/clause - tells where.
MOD     Modifier - follows a noun - tells something about a noun.
N       Noun, see below.
N.AN.SG Noun, animate and singular - prefix m(a)-, suffix -a/-e/-0
N.CO    Noun, collection or set - prefix an-, suffix -i
N.DS    Noun, distributive or multiple sets - prefix j(a)-, suffix -ien
N.PL    Noun, plural - prefix j(a), suffix -i
N.ST    Noun, state or abstract quality - prefix an-, suffix -a/-e/-0
REL     Relational - begins a clause - states relationships among arguments in a clause & the first noun phrase after the relational is considered to be the topic, and all other clauses in a sentence usually refer to it.
;           Punctuation - marks the end of the sentence.
 

Also, two nouns generally rename each other, except in a PA clause. And, subordinate and/or relative clauses are not marked in any way, they just happen.
However, often the first noun phrase after the subordinate relational will be missing, because it already occurs in the main clause.
