Grammar

Word Order

Ancaron verbs mark the subject as a suffix and the direct object as a prefix, forming a OVS word order.

• Bocpunmuc.

boc-pun-muc

rock-hold-I

I hold a rock.

Tense markers and then any adverbs immediately precede the verb, following the object.

• Boccivtorsipunmuc.

boc-civ.tor-sipun-muc

rock-FUT.quickly-throw-I

I will quickly throw the rock.

Adjectives also immediately precede the word they modify.

• Tucbocpunmuc.

tuc-boc-pun-muc

old-rock-hold-I

I hold an old rock.

However, while the direct object precedes the verb and subject, the indirect object follows the verb and subject as a separate word.

• Boccivsipunmuc Mardon.

boc-civ.sipun-muc Mardon

rock-FUT.throw-I Mardon

I will toss the rock to Mardon.

Possessive forms are treated as adjectives. Also note that most words are not limited to a specific part of speech.

• Docpunpunmuc.

Doc-pun-pun-muc

Your-hand-hold-I

I hold your hand.
