My conlang concerns two classes of people and so far has used a nearly universal Subject-Verb-Object order. I have been considering for a while adding an expectation that upper class (Otrun) come before lower class (lev) in sentences, but I'm not sure how best to handle this since so far, word order has been the way of marking the sentence role of nouns and pronouns in my conlang.

For an example sentence take: Ve ogoshotish ore. Said by an Otre to a lev, it translates as "You will_honor me". In this sentence, the lev Pronoun (ve = you, when said by an Otre to a lev) is coming before the Otre Pronoun (ore = me/I). The pronouns don't change for the accusative case, so if I just rearrange to put the Otre first, Ore ogoshotish ve, the sentence changes meaning to "I (an Otre) will_honor you (a lev)".

The simplest answer would be to use a word roughly equivalent to English to, and change the sentence to I Ore ve ogoshotish, which would translate roughly to "To me, you will honor". This works, but I'm not sure using i will be flexible enough for all situations, so I was wondering if anyone might have a better way of accomplishing this honorific sentence word order? I prefer to not always have to mark nominative and accusative on all nouns and pronouns.

One last thing, ogoshotish is future indicative form of ogoshor. Ve ogoshotish ore, is an indicative statement, which might also be translated as "you'll make me proud", like you might say to a child. It is not a command for the lev to honor the Otre speaker. (That would be Ve ogoshu ore, which has the same word order issue).

Thanks in advance for any help.
