Conjugation Of A Sentence in Tutelo-Saponi

[Scott Collins]

Verb at end of sentence
Adjectives follow nouns
Adverbs and Direct Objects before the Verb
 
I love the smell of sweetgrass.
 
I = mi (subject/noun)
Love = yato-ste:kE (verb)
The = i- (definite article)
Smell = pi (you can add an infatic such as –se after the word) (adjective)
Of = qekego (preposition)
Sweetgrass = chiko:yo oto: (object/noun)


My final conjugation:
I- pi qekego  chiko:yo oto:  mi yato-ste:kE. ( I love the smell of sweetgrass.)  
 
Is this all correct?
