In many ways, Uatakassi is "backwards Japanese" :-) Verb-initial, modifiers follow, no relative pronouns, etc. Similar to Japanese, but reverse syntax. Altho it's begun to acquire more "forward Japanese" features, like auxiliaries incorporate the main verb, which means that the auxiliary follows the main verb. -- "There's no such thing as 'cool'.
