Distributives are expressed with the help of the preposition po . Possessive pronouns are formed by adding a to these. Declensions are as for nouns. Verbs do not vary for person or number. All prepositions govern the nominative.
Every word is pronounced as it is spelt.
The accent is on the syllable before the last in every word. To show motion towards, words take the accusative ending. Alternatively the accusative without a preposition may be used. The so-called foreign words, which the majority of languages have taken from one source, undergo no change in the International Language beyond conforming to its orthography. Derivatives, however, are preferably formed from one basic root according to the rules of Esperanto grammar.
