| Adjectives precede nouns, direct objects come before verbs, and there are postpositions. |
| It's quite different from English, too, in that it puts the verb at the end of the sentence and uses postpositions instead of prepositions. |
| For example, SOV languages generally put modifiers before heads and use postpositions. |
| A switch within the prepositional phrase should be ruled out because English has prepositions and Panjabi postpositions. |
| Lithuanian breaks them out of the genitive case, accusative case and locative case by using different postpositions. |
| Like the other case-marking postpositions in this language, the ergative is encliticised to the first word of the noun phrase. |
