	A simple sentence consists at least of two noun phrases in nominative absolutus. The first noun phrase is interpreted as subject of the sentence, the second as predicate. If the first noun phrase is just a personal pronoun, it can be omitted and expressed as deixis of the predicate.		A simple sentence consists at least of two noun phrases in nominative absolutus.

The first vocalic position of the predicate does not have to coincide with that of the subject. Thereby the number of the action is determined. A singular predicate implies a one-time action, whilst a plural predicate connotes intensification, iteration or duration.

	The Dilba consonants are arranged depending on the number of possible mutation. As mentioned above, the first group are the root consonants, which have two possible mutations. It turns out that the first kind of mutation changes stops to fricatives, the second to nasals. ~~Aspirated~~ stops were formerly mutated to voiceless nasals, which got later in free variation to [h] (as in [ʔihˈʨ<sup><small>h</small></sup>iliħ]).

 In this article, the Dilba hieroglyphs are mostly represented by Latin letters. Since the cultural contact with England, the Latin alphabet is also used on Lamuella. However, at this time the phonology has not been reconstructed yet, so the pronunciation of the Latin letters is rather unintuitive.
-== Grammar ==
+== Morphology ==
 Most Dilba words, referred to as ''root words'', are obtained from consonantal roots by inserting vowels, adding affixes and mutating the root consonants. In the following, these three morphological operations shall be discussed separately.

-By attaching the suffixes ''y'' after consonants or ''h'' after vowels, status constructi to the forms above can be build. The status constructus of the nominative corresponds to the case genitive, the use of status constructi of the local cases will be discussed later. The forms above will be referred to as status absoluti.

The term has been chosen since the applications of the status constructi go far beyond possession.
