[the guy who be short]

Being an Englishman with English as my primary language (I actually learnt it second, but I think in it now, so it's most important to me) I find it easiest to stick with the English order,

The same question arises in Lesson 5 with verbs - the sentence could be

I Eldar mápea i Nauco.
The Elves seize the Dwarf.
I Eldar i Nauco mápea.
The Elves the Dwarf seize.
I Nauco i Eldar mápea.
The Dwarf the Elves seize.

In sentences, I prefer the English method of object-verb-subject, but in poetry, it's very handy, because you can shift things around to match rhyming patterns (which I'm very fond of). When writing poetry, I use whatever order I like.

As for leaving ná off completely... I don't think I could cope with that. Too much brain strain, like you said.
