2. Pay attention to the order of words and morphemes
3.Phonological forms can be consistently modified
4. Avoid interruption and rearrangement of linguistic units
5.Underlying semantic relations should be marked clearly and overtly
6. Avoid exceptions
7. Use of grammatical markers should make semantic sense
