This is used all the time.
So pay attention to the rules.

The most important and hard to be used Akkia feature is the Morphosyntatic Alignment Change.
Akkia is ruled by Morphosyntatic Alignment Changes, between: Accusative (S=A), Ergative (S=O), Stative (degrees of control, unintentional, or by empathy), Transitive (A=O), Split (it changes during the discourse, with: niyssen (de)), and Focus (trope, or also verbless speech).
Stative is SVO, and the others may change with Topic.
It's the Verbless Speech to allow poetry in the honorable level of conversation.
Order from the less to the most formal.

When we play Enigma, language is important.
The most interesting feature of the game is that we can play it to practice language, with explanations from each part on what you mean with this or that sentence or statement, and this blog is designed to guide you through this.
You can, for example, make simple questions during play.
If you say: "Emme tór daka? Tá iku, edda ka?", Where is the door? Is there any window? -- you're making the right questions! It's all about what you ask, the matter of play.
Answers vary a lot, and Alignments are used all the time.
With Alignments you show degrees of relation and formality.
If you use Accusative, you treat the Subject of an intransitive verb like the Agent of a transitive verb, and treat Object in a different way.
This alignment is used to adress known persons, possibly a close relation one.
You simply mark the Object, and follow what the Topic is by saying it in first place.
Remember if you don't mark the Object, you're using Stative.
Then, the Ergative is the alignment of formal relations, when you need to adress an important person.
You treat an intransitive argument the same as the Object, treating Agent in a different way.
One example is -- "Iyahata iyahakjita", or -- "The rain rains", for -- "It's raining".
The first -ta ending is the absolutive, the -kjita is the Public Present.
We use Ergative with people we respect, older relatives and in working context.
We also mark the verb for volition, with "s" and "sta" for second and third arguments, but only in the Present -- note that the Past marking of volition is only used in the Focus alignment -- and note you can take it off with a detransitive verb, which is one argument only, very used with a pro-drop function, when you take off the pronoun, and rely on context to define who is doing the action.
Then, the Stative treats arguments of intransitive verbs like the Agent of transitives, like English, but in fact what happens is that you don't mark the words, and use a Classical iyawai Word Order as SVO -- this SVO structure is fixed in Stative.
The Passive form of a Stative sentence is formed using "biyer", that means "by", after the Agent or Object.
Stative is also ruled by empathy, and passivisation rules the preferred form.
The Transitive alignment is used with Honorable verb endings, when the Past is the non marked form of a verb, and there's a Non Past form, and treat Agent and Object of a verb as in accusative in Past tense, but for intransitive verbs the tense is a Present.
Then, a Split alignment is formed when the Participant tense is used, or with a Participant argument, as accusative if you're dealing with the Agent or an intransitive argument, that is, you mark the Agent as it was an Object, but we use ergative and absolutive to mark the Agent and Subject as ergative, with the Object is marked as transitive Object.
We use "niyssen (de)" to start a Split, and "niyssen (da)" to finish it.
Then, the Focus indicates a Trope, and is dependant of Topic position to have it declared. It also indicates a small emphasys, in oposition to the particle "sa", which indicates a strong emphasys.
We usually mark the Focus by marking the verb for its volition.
It means, if there's one argument the verb doesn't change, but it changes for two or three arguments, by adding "s" and "sta" as the verb ending -- it's also used in the ergative, but the ergative is free of Tropes -- it's used to talk about Stories, or the narrative of events.
–
The Alignments are shown in Order of Degrees of Formality. So, it means you're going to get use to tell stories, because the most formal register is the Storytelling narrative Change.
We use Stative for unintentional action -- always SVO.
–
It happens there's no formulae for this, I mean, it's not SVO, it's about Topic.
Once you declare the Topic, you can make Comments on that matter, and show your Opinion.
If you're not decalring your opinion, you simply use the verb in the last position.
We have a number of Bytlar, or opinion markers (Bias, in English), but we don't used these markers with verb final sentences -- note that there are two Factual sentence finals, "dil-a" for Present, and "dul-a" for Past -- there's no fact in the Future tense.
Also, the Transitive is the alignment which rules the needs of the Speaker, not the verb.
It's mostly used with Verbs of change, and movement -- rarely, with states.
–
Split is when you change everything during speech.
We also use "niyssen (de, or: da)" to indicate the moment of change, or else, the conclusion.

And so, Focus is a light emphatic meaning, which invokes a Trope.
A Trope is different from a "cliché", because a "cliché" is boring, but else, a Trope is a collection of should known concepts, based on culture, and specifically on literature, when you topic things like Hero, Vilain, Necessarily Evil, or others.
You don't need to declare the Topic all the time.
This way, your sentences will be a series of suggestions, not Topics.
But, when defining or redefining Topic, it comes first.
For example: "Tá iku, edda ka?", for "Any window, is (there)?".
You started with "Any window", when you could start with the question, so it means that's what you're talking about. That's the "Daiba", or "important part" of your question.
If the Master answers "Soh,... ògga wa", "Oh,... there is", you got the right information you needed.
Everything can be the right information you need, that's why question is important.
I'll guide you to learn how to make the right questions, in other posts.
For now, I hope you're enjoying the reading.
Stay Plugged.
