word order and agglutination

solxlanni has SVO(subject verb object) word order, this is complimented by VSO(verb subject object) when a noun is formed through agglutination. solxlanni has many affixes(mainly prefixes) and accepts nouns as affixes. nouns,pronouns and adjectives can have affixes,but proper nouns will have affixes seperated by a hyphon(-). animate and first person pronouns can be suffixes on verbs.

Adjectives can come before or after a word or be standalone. they are stuck to the word they're discribing. in larger agglutinated words all adjectives are stuck on the same side of each word block. so a single word block can be a_ or _a but a word with multiple blocks will be _a_a... or a_a_... (each block is a root word{noun,verb} and it's adjectives)

since solxlanni allows nouns to be used as affixes it is possible to do recursion with basic sentences just as one word. for example "i was playing with my bald friend" can be "ne xwar ef nȝ angwaȝolðelw"(literally " i[past] play with my [one with no hair]friend"). it is ill-advised to go too far though. since, even though you can break them down, it's not easy. for example "peȝðelwxwarnȝefempertesatarndyk" [peȝðelw{coworker}|xwarnȝ{i played}|efemperte{with [singular animate indirect] on}|satarndyk{saturday::root}] is huge and it means "coworker i played with on saturday"

mutation

despite having welsh as a big influence, solxlanni doesn't have many mutations. and the ones that it does have make sense on paper. the two mutation rules are called compression[crebaxu(to make small)] and possession[rantece(take a part of)]. possession mutation, this occurs when a suffix starts with a vowel and the word the suffix is being stuck to ends with a vowel, the vowel from the suffix takes the vowel from the root word. an example of that would be "caða"[drink] becoming "dancaðu"[underdrinking or to drink little]. compression mutation is when two matching consonants become a long consonant(short and long constonants/vowels explained in orthography) this mutation is best described by a table.
