While perserving much of the ancestral [[Proto-Ortûlékian language|Ortûlékian]] vocabulary, Olgish grammar differs greatly from that of its sister languages. The complex Proto-Ortûlékian verbal morphology is truncated heavily, and by the time of classical [[Old Olgish]], nearly all feature coding has moved from the head to the dependant. The Olgish languages retain, on the other hand, the hallmark ‘Ortûlékian lax affixes’, referring to a tendency of all or most affixes in Ortûlékian languages to allow attachment to all or most word classes, often with slightly different meanings depending on host class.
