Word order
In, normal indicative constructions, |on has a VSO (Verb-Subject Object) word order. Adjectives and adverbs come after what they describe.

Ex:

I see it ---> See I it.

I want to eat the black ant. ---> Want to eat I ant black.

Passive
The passive voice is a much used feature in |on, and can be formed in three different ways" the "e form", "la form", and the "si form". The passive can only be used when there is no subject, therefore in the sentence "the food was eaten by me", the by me does not make sense. Passive can be described as deleting the subject an raising the object to subject position.

E form

To form the "e form" write "e" before verbs starting with a consonant or Group 1 vowels, and "i" before verbs starting with Group 2 or 3 vowels.

La form Put "la" after the verb.

Antipassive
Roughly equivalent to the active. The object of the sentence is deleted. E.g. "I eat".

Middle
The subject of the sentence is also the object of the sentence. E.x "I eat myself"

Reciprocal
This is where the object of the sentence is also the subject and visa-versa. "We eat each other"

Circumstantial
This is where both the object of the sentence and the subject of the snetence are deleted. E.x. "I eat the food with a fork" ---> "Eat fork".

Adjutative
This is where the subject of the sentence is not directly involved with the verb, but helps for it to happen, causes it, or merely does nothing to stop it. E.g. "I eat him" ---> "I feed him"
