I somehow believe that if someone was taught this language informally, they'd
quickly reinterpret it as an isolating SVO language with a zero copula.

And "being human young female" for "girl" presents another problem - it seems
to denote a being who is human, young and female, not one that's femininely
youngly human, whatever that means.
