tlingan Hol (Klingon) has an OVS word-order, the exact opposite of
English.  The verbs are built on a basic form, which is a complete
syllable, to which can be added prefixes indicating subject and object,
and suffixes indicating other qualities.  But, yeah, Klingon has almost
no polysyllabic *roots*.
