can be formed with suffixes. For example, there are many common animal names that have the suffix ‘-le’ in the last syllable of each word. However, this is not always the case because in some words, the suffix ‘-le’ may not be present for an animal name or is present for another name that is not animal related. The suffix -me is a plural marker for pronouns and, depending on the Koro speaker, for living things. The suffix ‘-gɨ’ is used to show possession, usually around a pronoun. This element may not be Koro’s alone but a cognate of other Tibeto-Burman languages as well. Pronouns in Koro have three types of persons: first, second, and third. These pronouns can either be singular or plural. Verbs The suffix -ro is an imperative marker, which conveys a command or request to another person. The suffix -le is a negative imperative (prohibitive) marker, which conveys a command or request to not do an action to another person. The suffix -ŋa is a negative indicative marker, which negates a statement or question. Syntax The basic word order of Koro is subject-object-verb. The structure of noun phrases usually follows demonstrative-noun-adjective-numerals. Demonstrative elements are determiners used to indicate a person or thing, such as the words: this, that, and those. Numerals do not need a numeral classifiers to help describe the quantity of a noun. In ditransitive sentences in which there are two objects, the order usually follows subject-object1-object2-verb. Object 1 is the indirect object that is receiving the action while object 2 is the direct object being acted upon. Question words come after the subject or object.
