TODO | - Serials: Words that form serials with their subject must form serials when used as nouns. | ||
- Objects: The verbal complex incorporates objects with the hiatus tone, nouns incorporate them with the falling tone. | |||
- Adjuncts: Fronted adjuncts are written in the falling tone and with object incorporation. | |||
