_-to_: locative suffix
_-m_: 2(sg/pl) transitive subject
So far, it seems like the language has the following rules:
- Word-order: VSO, noun-adj, noun-poss, generally right-branching
- Tense/aspect marked with prefixes
- Transitive verbs mark subjects and objects with suffixes
- Intransitive verbs mark subjects with prefixes
- Directional particles can become verbal suffixes
- Plural is unmarked, singular marked by prefix _tu-_
