The verb in second place
A Somka sentence puts its verb, or its ledger word, second. Whatever comes first, the verb follows it.
Som ka retu
dream is resist
The dream is the back door.
Inside a phrase, the important word comes last. Describing words come before the thing they describe, the owner comes before te and the thing owned, and the little words that English puts before a noun (to, in, from) come after it in Somka.
