+# Cases
+
+As we have learnt in [Nominal morphology][nom-morph], there are 4 cases:
+
+- nominative: used for topic and subject of the sentence.
+- accusative: used for direct object of the sentence
+- dative: used for indirect objects of the sentence, as well as anything after
+    a preposition
+- genitive: signifying possession.

+# Word order
+
+## Sentences
+
+Sentences in Ravna are best not analyzed in terms of subjects and objects, but
+topic and comment.  The sentence order is topic-comment-verb, which might
+appears as SOV or OSV if one uses subject-object model.  When the comment
+includes both a subject and object, however, the subjects mostly comes first.
+
+## Modifiers
+
+Modifiers (adjectives, adverbs) follow the words they modify.
+
+## Adverbials
+
+While the rule for modifiers extends to spatial adverbial phrases, it should be
+noted that destination and origin are *before* a verb.  Some examples for this
+rule:
+
+| Ravna | English |
+|-------|---------|
+|  | I ran *inside the forest*. |
+|  | I ran *into the forest*. |
+|  | I ran *out of the forest*. |
+
+Naturally, this applies for non-place destinations and sources as well.
+However, these words don't have to be directly before a verb
+
+| Ravna | English |
+|-------|---------|
+|  | She gave *me* an apple. |
+|  | I fetched water *from the creek*. |
+
+Instrumental adverbials behave just like normal adverbs:
+
+| Ravna | English |
+|-------|---------|
+|  | He answered *in Ravna*. |
+|  | They travel *on a boat*. |
+
+Temporal adverbials and other adverbials, however, either follow
+verbs:
+
+| Ravna | English |
+|-------|---------|
+|  | Reva gets up *at 6* *every day*. |
+|  | He has studied this topic *since 5 years ago*. |
+|  | Ze worked *until midnight*. |
+|  | He went to the river *to fish*. |
+|  | Would you do that *for me*? |
+
+## Exceptions
+
+In a literary setting, especially in poetry, one can, and often breaks the rule
+of word order to either shift emphasis or for rhyming.
