Word Order

Word order is strictly VOS.

Two ⺓ (ſןɹ j͑ʃɔ) cannot be in the same sentence. Otherwise the sentence would be split or changed to have the same subject.

ſɟɔƴ or ɭʃᴜ is put where ⺓ is.

If ꞁȷ̀ᴜ ſᶘᴜ 'if' is used, then use ſɭᴜ j͑ʃᴜ 'then' after.

ꞁȷ̀ᴜ ſᶘᴜ ſɭ,ɔ ſɭᴜ j͑ʃᴜ ſɭw ſ̀ȷᴜꞇ

If do, then come.

Adjective Order

The origin of this was to distinguish literal adjectives and symbolic adjectives as older versions of Iikrhian had a lower amount of vocabulary. The reason why the symbolic adjectives come after is because they are less important in meaning compared to the root. In the past as well, the number of words that could be stacked was much higher although this changed so that the only time this happened was with words what already had a modifier so that new words wouldnt have two and only one. For example ŋᷠɜⅎᶗ‹ ſɭэ j͐ʃꞇȝ ꞁȷ̀ᴜꞇ is a sandwhich while ŋᷠɜⅎᶗ‹ ſɭэ j͐ʃꞇȝ ꞁȷ̀ᴜꞇ ſ̀ȷᴜ ſɭɔͷ̗ ꞁȷ̀ᴜꞇ is a philly cheesesteak and it is a subset of sandwhich. Whats interesting about this is that this was a natural change meaning that this happened unconciously as i used to the language. Antoher part of this that is also natural is how what words were used in compounding changed as well where in the past compounds used to sould like whole sentences. Then, it became only adjectives with the -j͑ʃᴜꞇ suffix. Part of this was because in the past, Iikrhian did not distinguish adjectives from verbs and most words were verbs. That old version of Iikrhian also used classifiers intensily which could also be the reason for the development of the symbolic adjectives.

If describe, adjective first.

If compound, adjective last.

In the past, what word would be the adjective would be determined by importance so that if it was a more visible aspect, it would be the noun. In modern Iikrhian it is by classification. However, the form is still presered in some words.

Word Separation

To separate a word use ſɭᴜͷ̗ or -ꞁȷ̀ᴜͷ̗/-j͐ʃ.

After a noun or verb, it doesn't describe that one. However, near an adjective together they describe the other word.

Coal house boat.

The subclause, -(a)l, cannot be stacked as a suffix. Adjective order is used instead.

If there needs to be two adjective from both sides, then use kal for seperation.

There is no word for 'And'. This is replaced by placing to words togther or using }ʃᴜꞇ ſᶘw 'Also'. If they are adjective, use -(a)l or kal.

ſɭɜc̗ ꞁȷ̀ɜ ɭʃᴜ ſɭ,ɔ

Verbs

Verbs have slot in them and often this means ſןɹ j͑ʃɔ can be dropped.

ꞁȷ̀ɔ ſᶘᴜ ɽ͑ʃ'ᴜ ſɭɔƴ ɭʃƽᴜͷ̗

know 2s 3s

They know you

ꞁȷ̀ɔ ſᶘᴜ ɽ͑ʃ'ᴜ ⺓ ɭʃƽᴜͷ̗

know SUBCL 3s

They know

Sometimes ſɭᴜͷ̗ is used to block it too like for adjectives to prevent compounding or close a verb that does not use the subject. Therefore, ſןɹ j͑ʃɔ is strictly a subject marker while ſɭᴜͷ̗ is used elsewhere.
