This will be a Trigger language, which is essentially a Topic/Comment language with a rich array of verbal voices. The basic sentence structure is

Trigger {Cause} {Agent} {Primary object} Verb {Secondary Object} {Instrument}

Any argument in braces is optional, or may be taken by the trigger according to the voice of the verb.

The primary object is the object in a simple transitive sentence, and the recipient in a ditransitive sentence.

The secondary object corresponds to the direct object in a ditransitive sentence.
