sentence becomes free. However, since both the instrumental and the ablative case are marked by the same postposition "se" (से /سے), when both are present in a sentence then the quantity they modify cannot appear adjacent to each other. "kyā " (क्या / کیا) "what" as the yes-no question marker occurs at the beginning or the end of a clause as its unmarked positions but it can be put anywhere in the sentence except the preverbal position, where instead it is interpreted as interrogative "what". Some of all the possible word order permutations of the sentence "The girl received a gift from the boy on her birthday." are shown below. Portuguese In Portuguese, clitic pronouns and commas allow many different orders: "Eu vou entregar a você amanhã." ["I will deliver to you tomorrow."] (same word order as English) "Entregarei a você amanhã." ["{I} will deliver to you tomorrow."] "Eu lhe entregarei amanhã." ["I to you will deliver tomorrow."] "Entregar-lhe-ei amanhã." ["Deliver to you {I} will tomorrow."] (mesoclisis) "A ti, eu entregarei amanhã." ["To you I will deliver tomorrow."] "A ti, entregarei amanhã." ["To you deliver {I} will tomorrow."] "Amanhã, entregar-te-ei" ["Tomorrow {I} will deliver to you"] "Poderia entregar, eu, a você amanhã?" ["Could deliver I to you tomorrow?] Braces ({ }) are used above to indicate omitted subject pronouns, which may be implicit in Portuguese. Because of conjugation, the grammatical person is recovered. Latin In Latin, the endings of nouns, verbs, adjectives, and pronouns allow for extremely flexible order in most situations. Latin lacks articles. The Subject, Verb, and Object can come in any order in a Latin sentence, although most often (especially in subordinate clauses) the verb comes last. Pragmatic factors, such as topic and focus, play a large part in determining the order. Thus the following sentences each answer a different question: "Romulus Romam condidit." ["Romulus founded Rome"] (What did Romulus do?) "Hanc urbem condidit Romulus." ["Romulus founded this city"] (Who founded this city?) "Condidit Romam Romulus." ["Romulus founded Rome"] (What happened?) Latin prose often follows the word order "Subject, Direct Object, Indirect Object, Adverb, Verb", but this is more of a guideline than a rule. Adjectives in most cases go before the noun they modify, but some categories, such as those that determine or specify (e.g. Via Appia "Appian Way"), usually follow the noun. In Classical Latin poetry, lyricists followed word order very loosely to achieve a
