Géarthnuns is SOV and right-branching (I never *quite* got this term)?
Adjectives, relative clauses, participial phrases follow a noun. Adverbs
that describe adjectives follow the adjective. Adverbs that describe another
adverb follow that adverb. Adverbs that describe verbs are usually
immediately before the verb since sentence structure is strictly verb-final,
though they may sometimes follow the auxiliary which is often the second
element in the sentence (actually, the auxiliary usually follows the
nominative, wherever it is).
