Main clause and word order
Cärähə is an almost strictly SVO (Subject-Verb-Object) language.
äs wīrə rīruśäh äs subä the man sees the dog
The total lack of any case system (except, to a very limited extent, in personal pronouns), and of any distinction between the subject and the direct object, makes the word order firmly fixed.
The other elements in the sentence are usually placed in the order “time-cause-manner-place”, although they are basically freer than the main elements, as they are conveyed by the case system or by the prepositions. These elements can be emphasized by placing them at the beginning of the sentence.
The indirect object tends to be placed after the direct object of the sentence. However, if both direct and indirect objects are used in pronominal form, they are placed right before the conjugated verbal form in reverse order.
