2.3.3.5. Word order variations according to the different types of verbs (plain, agreeing)

Sometimes the basic word order varies depending on the type of verb. For instance, some verbs can incorporate the object in one single form. This is the case for examples of some agreement verbs that can specify the subject, the direct object and the indirect object in the same form, as in the examples below.

a)    ix1 keep(loc) already.

‘I've already put it away.’

 b)     ix(poss)1 grandparent woman ix3 flower 3flower_give3.

       â€˜He gave a flower bouquet to my grandmother.’
