Some Neo-Aramaic dialects, including the one spoken by my family (Isarlaic), employ various sentence structures in addition to VSO. In the case of Isarlaic Aramaic, relative clauses typically do not get shuffled around, but rather they generally follow the antecedent noun. There are rare poetic or rhetorical phrasings in which a relative clause may precede a noun, but such occurrences are uncommon. It is the same with Hebrew, Arabic, and Modern Assyrian. -Jacob- --- In westasianconlangs@yahoogroups.com, "carrajena" <carrajena@...> wrote: > > I know that some of the semitic langs are or were VSO like my > Carrajena.
