The basic sentence structure is SVO. However if the S is indefinite, it immediately follows the verb.

The naked object is indefinite. To make it definite the affix -s is added. This suffix is only used with objects.

The affix -s is one of two inflections added to nouns. The other is -n which can be said to be locative case.

What some languages do with a complex case system, Seuna does with serial-verbs and prepositions.

Some common prepositions

o = w.r.t.

e = dative case

Other small words

i = and

Other small bits

u- = un-

= serial verb marker = object incorporating marker

Examples

lari kludas e jene = I gave the book to Janet lari jene kludas = I gave Janet the book.
