This page gives an extensive description of Cažorih syntactical features.
Main clause and word order
Cažorih is an almost strictly SOV (Subject-Object-Verb) language.
fyh loz more imo the man sees the dog
The case system, which clearly distinguishes between the subject and the direct object, allows every other possible word order to some extent, but most of them prove to be very marked and infrequently used. However, the direct object can be emphasized by placing it at the beginning of the sentence.
loz fyh more imo it's the dog the man sees
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 before the direct object of the sentence.
ğẽx lozɛž so hɔʔ the man gives the dog (some) bread
