Morthic uses a direct, survival-oriented word order. It usually places the actor first, the action second, and the target or object after the verb.
The result is blunt and practical: who acts, what they do, and what they act upon.
Basic Word Order
Subject + Verb + Object
Subject: the actor, kin-group, animal, or force
Verb: the action or state
Object: the target, food, place, enemy, or tool
