cases nominative ergative dative and assessory case the cases assign different meanings to the noun phrases of a sentence therefore the word order can vary quite freely subject object or verb can appear initial final medial in sentence however the second position of a sentence is always reserved for the verbal auxiliary sometimes referred to as a catalyst the verbal auxiliary indicates the mood of a sentence similar to the english auxiliaries but also cross references its noun phrases the person and number of the noun phrases in their syntactic cases are shown in the verbal auxiliary
