Verbs

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

Verb markers are located before the verb but after the object, in the following order: adverb, negation, tense marker. Ancaron only has 3 verb tenses, past present and future, with present being assumed with the absence of a marker.

• Boctortacivsipunmuc.

boc-tor-ta-civ.sipun-muc

rock-quickly-NEG-FUT.throw-I

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

rock-FUT.throw-I Mardon

I will toss the rock to Mardon.
