	Common nouns have word endings that change depending on gender and case.

			== Verb Conjugations ==
			Verbs inflect for aspect and also for the optative mood. Usually, conjugations change the penultimate <y> in the verb. Many verbs only contain one <y>, which is conjugated. A few verbs either conjugate the ultimate <y> or don't contain <y>; these verbs are considered irregular. <br>
			Conjugations are listed below using the verb "pyno" (to pray) as an example: <br>
			Perfective/Simple - i (pino)<br>
			Imperfective - ij (pijno)<br>
			Perfect - iji (pijino)<br>
			Progressive - uji (pujino)<br>
			Habitual - ida (pidano)<br>
			Ability - oyn (poyno)<br>
			Optative - omi (pomino)

	Common Amorian requires an honorific be placed at the end of given names. They function similarly to word endings, changing for gender and case.

			Numbers go in front of nouns like adjectives. To convey fractions of something, one would use "yu" (and) followed by the denominator as a possessor for the numerator. For example, five hundredths (5/100) translates to "yutawilanuleu", literally "and one hundred's five".

	== Cases ==		== Cases ==
	Common Amorian has 5 distinct cases. Those cases are nominative, accusative, ~~allegative~~, dative, and genitive. Nominative denotes agents, accusative denotes a ~~patientive~~ object, and ~~allegative~~ denotes a patientive subject. Dative and genitive are unaltered from their standard uses. ~~The nominative~~ case ~~can also be used~~ as the ~~vocative, as Common Amorian~~ does not ~~have a vocative~~. All cases are indicated by changing the ending of a noun, with the exception of the genitive, which takes ~~one of two suffixes:~~ "-leu" for ~~possession or "-na" for modification~~.		Common Amorian has 5 distinct cases. Those cases are nominative, accusative, patientive, dative, and genitive. Nominative denotes agents, accusative denotes a direct object, and patientive denotes a patientive subject. Dative and genitive are unaltered from their standard uses. In some dialects, Common Amorian features an emerging vocative case as well, where the word endings and honorifics are simply dropped. This case does not exist in formal or standard Amorian. All cases are indicated by changing the ending of a noun, with the exception of the genitive, which is either unmarked or takes the "-leu" suffix for the possessive.
	== Gender ==		== Gender ==
	Common Amorian has 4 grammatical genders. Those genders are masculine, feminine, non-binary or trinary ~~(here out referred to as hermaphrodite~~<ref>Amorian Skinfolk (palaarran) are usually assigned one of 3 genders at birth, and there are 3 standard sexes, so while the ~~hermaphrodite~~ grammatical gender could be used for non-binary identities, it is intended for people of this third sex.</ref>, and divine. Most nouns have a default gender, but if the discussed individual has a gender that is different from the default gender of the word, the word's gender can be changed to match. For example, the word for Skinfolk<ref>One of the two dominant species of Amoria is the Skinfolk, which resemble humans for the most part.</ref> (palaarran) is feminine by default. However, if the person being discussed were male or non-binary, the word ending would change to reflect this, turning the word into palaleha or palairri. If the gender of the person being discussed is simply not known, the default gender of the word is used, which in this case is feminine.		Common Amorian has 4 grammatical genders.

	By default, Common Amorian uses SVO word order. The only exception is when the interrogative mood is used, which changes the word order to VOS.

Adpositions always go at the beginning of a sentence or clause, unless the same clause uses a clause-initial mood marker, in which case adpositions come second.
	== Verb Conjugations ==		== Verb Conjugations ==
	Verbs in Common Amorian have seven different conjugations, not counting the infinitive. Verbs conjugate to be placed in the perfect, imperfective, perfective, progressive, and habitual aspects, the optative mood, or to convey ability to do something (akin to [[English]] "can"). To express tense, verbs take one of three prefixes for either the past, near past, or future, or ~~do not~~ take ~~any~~ affixes for the present.

It might be considered a polysynthetic language by someone more experienced in linguistics, but no such person has analyzed the language as of now. Verbs function as the hearts of sentences; a sentence is not grammatically correct without one. Subjects always attach to the beginnings of verbs, while nouns in the accusative or the dative can stand on their own, although nouns in the dative are generally affixed behind adpositions. Adjectives must attach to nouns, as adverbs must to verbs.

Common Amorian uses the "Hyperactive" morphosyntactic alignment, meaning Agents (A) and Agentive Subjects (Sₐ) use the same case and declensions, while Patients (P) and Patientive Subjects (Sₚ) each have their own cases and declensions. The cases used in Amorian are nominative (A and Sₐ), accusative (P), and allegative (Sₚ). Each of these three cases, as well as the dative case, change the ending of a word. Word endings also depend on the gender of the word, which is variable in some words and constant in others. The four grammatical genders of Common Amorian are Masculine, Feminine, Trinary, and Divine.
			===Word Order===
			By default, Common Amorian uses SVO word order. The only exception is when the interrogative mood is used, which changes the word order to SOV. Common Amorian puts its adjectives before its nouns and possessors before possessees. Adpositions always go at the beginning of a sentence or clause.
