Darynese is OVS -- unusual, yes. when dealing with verbs relating two ideas (usually variations on 'to be'), the new information will always be at the end of the sentence. Adjectives always precede the noun they modify and agree in gender (but not number) with the noun they modify. Adverbs directly precede the verb. Prepositional phrases are grouped with adverbs. Subordinate and identifying clauses are formed using participles. Verbs are conjugated by politeness and certainty. All grammar markings are included after the vocabulary.
Flood-time is comparable to the predator that stalks the elderly, sick, and children.
Flood-time is comparable to the bedrock that does not sprout plants.
Flood-time is comparable to a beast's remorseless teeth and sharp claws.
Because of this:
We ask you, "Will you be idle in planting-time?"
"You might skip* over the land."
"Because of this,
You might greet Creation with affection.
And good green plants will exist on your path."*lit. move playfully or childishly
Comments: Well, the fact that this seemed to be about the seasonal change -- something that the Darynese view somewhat differently than most people (the language started in an Egypt-like ecosystem) and that is still tied to religion (they aren't one to throw out an idea that works, just tack on new bits whenever) -- means we might be heading towards a creation story sooner than we think.
