Proto-Drem Grammar bits

1. One thing to look for is generally a NP-VP-NP word order, but Proto-Drem breaks that pretty easily and is generally (like a Poly-Lang) used to a free word order. Make sure you look at context, since the word order can be reversed... instead of a strange VSO, it is usually made SVO, or SOV to keep the initial noun phrase. But not always, rarely, a phrase (word) can be made as a long verb phrase
2. Since there is basically no vowel harmony or tone “altercations” in this text, I won’t need to go into how phrasal tones and vowel harmony changes stuff around.
3. With words. Always remember, TAMV/Pronoun-Adj/Adv-Modifiers-Root. The root that is talked of is nearly always at the rear. The most common suffix is the article (a/the)
4. Watch for a flip morpheme.. it is used commonly to make an adjective into an adverb or vice versa…where a noun phrase then become a verb phrase, etc…
5. TAMV markers are expressive creatures, in one marker, they contain the Tense, Aspect, Mood AND Voice... so a small marker can contain a lot of info.
6. Watch for ‘—‘ since it is a period ‘.’, exclamation mark ‘!’ AND Question mark ‘?’ One must look at the context to determine which usage it has.
7. Watch for emotion markers, they are words at the end of a sentence and color the emotion of the whole sentence, which usually is used for Poetry and speech if one feels it’s important enough to declare your emotional state at that time.
8. Watch the context!, I figure you will ask questions…
