## Introduction

VOS (Verb Object Subject) is a language.

I consider it very simple. As in that it has a strict word order and nothing is ambiguous. It is also very easy to learn. This document will highlight the main aspects of VOS, and once you've read and understood it, you should technically be able to read most any VOS sentence.

## Basic Word Order

The name of VOS is derived form its basic word order:

Verb Object Subject

This may sound awkaward initially, and it probably it, but I had a reason for it, I jsut can't remember what it was. It was a good reason, and it is staying, because changing it would force me to come up with a new name.

The next thing ot know is that any suppliments in VOS go before hte respective word, so:

Verb_Supliments Verb Obj_Supliemnts Object Sub_Suppliments Subject

That is it for basic word order.

## Suppliemnts

Suppliments are words that preceed a Verb/Object/Subject that describe it, like adjectives.

A word becomes an adjctive by having -ah glued on the end. So:

hilf = happy

becomes

hilah = happy (desc)

Another type of subliment is the quantative-descriptive suppliemnt, which you create with -tea.

ein = one

becomes

eintea

Techinically, 'supppliments' are shorthand for a VOS Bloc. -ah means (is O S) as such.

## Extended VOS

The extended VOS Syntax is really simple, much like the Basic VOS syntax :)

Techincally, it is the same, but you need to understand that any item (Verb/Object/Subject) can be replaced with a VOS Block (a phrase).

Basiclly, after the standard VOS section, if more Verbs/Prepositions or Objects are needs, you jsut stack them on the end

For example:

> I gave the cat to James
> S V    O       P  O

becomes:

> titan James kimpies takocute ei
> V     O     V       O        S
> LFP: (V O S) O S

the kim- prefix is required to indicate that pies (to give) does not start a new phrase, which without it would.

Easy :)

I think :/

## Questions?

umm - questions are odd....

To ask if soemthing is true, for example:

> have you a cat?   (do you have a cat, in nice terms)
> V    S   O

We have teh same word order for questions in VOS, unlike English, and we just prefix cook- in this instance

> cookeveeht eintea cute sui
> V          OS     O    S

asking what someone has, or is doing is more complex, and I havn't verified it for myself yet, though it can be done (I'm not going to tell you how)

## Note about Modal Verbs

Modal verbs are changing, again again again, again. Tehy've changed alot, and may continue to change, but it is unlikly, considering the onset of the LFP Format.

## Afternote

You may have notices the Basic VOS document is very short, HURRAY!

Now, go and look through Vocab.txt - scroll to the bottom and work up - the appendingy thigns and specials are more important then the actual vocab at this time - well they make convesation more fluent and understandable if you know the them.

I will add more stuff to this, but frankly it is all doced fairly well in Vocab, so there.
