Piat is an SVO and isolating language. Most constructions are paractactic: the language favors "and ... and ... and ..." rather than subordinating conjunctions like "so that" or "because" or "therefore", and allows these "logical" semantics to be filled in by context.Relative clauses are important, however: they appear before the noun (or sometimes the verb) and are suffixed by the particle "de" (which I stole from Chinese). This is also used between nouns to indicate possession: "A de B" means "A's B" or "the B of A".
Nouns are made plural by reduplication; a two-syllable noun reduplicates only the second syllable.
The detailed phonology can be found in the conlang archives at http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind9907C&L=conlang&P=R470. The only significant points for the prosody is that -ii is just /i/, since -i marks final palatalization (not used in this text, as it happens), and that w and y are both vowels (though i and w are also palatalization and labialization markers respectively).
The first three stanzas use 7-syllable lines, the last two use 6-syllable lines. Stress is not significant, but the patterns of rhyme are.
