I don't know of anything exactly like this, but some verbs in my language
Zharranh are split into two parts: dha zirrek je syrr "roses are red" (with
"dha ... je" as the verb). Words corresponding to prepositions in Ludireo
tend to be verbs: na kwa nyan aruk "I cross road walk" = "I walk across the
road".
