English : Though an Indo-European lannguage, words can be somewhat flexible and precise in meaning (but nevertheless stylistic stiff), by changing word order and insertion, in this case, of the word "of". Example. "the man of God"  and " of God, the man" means the same thing but the latter is stilted. "man" and "God" have nothing to indicate which is subject, object, etc.

Arabic (classical), as mentioned above does have case endings and so is an example of the mixing of root language consonental-determinative-for-meaning language, and more of a freedom in word order (syntax)

Arabic (classical), as mentioned above does have case endings and so is an example of the ''mixing'' of root language consonental-determinative-for-meaning language, and more of a freedom in word order (syntax)on the "Indo-European" style Example: "Beit" means house. "Beitu"- house is nominative - subject of sentencs. "Beiti" is to or for a house, or indirect object, and "Beita" (or Beitan) is accusative or the direct object of the sentence.  "Ana mawjuud filbeit'''i''' ilkabir'''i'''" - I am in the big house (in the house, the big one) ''indirect'' object. Ana ar'a' albeit'''a''' alkabir'''a''' I see the big house (the house, the big one)- ''direct'' object. The precision that case endings give allow flexibility with full comprehension and style no matter the positioning of the words - The big house I see. I see the big house. I, the house, the big one, see.  Yet, as in Hebrew and Aramaic, the particular meaning of the words is determined by its consonental roots, rather than the vowels.
