===<u>Head-directionality</u>===
Sangheili is a head-final language, meaning everything comes first while the main head verb (the most important component of a phrase that determines the type of phrase) is relegated to the very end, hence ''head-final''.
:English:
::'''<u>I won't let</u> you take the holy relic.'''
:English (''head-final''):
::'''You holy relic take <u>I will-not-allow</u>.'''
:Sangheili:
::'''K'e o qkhado kheluuga ch'imo <u>jan o t'iswaqkhijaga</u>.'''

===<u>Numerals</u>===
Sangheili uses a base eight numeral system:
''e.g.'' <math>[...,\frac{512}{8^3}, \frac{64}{8^2}, \frac{8}{8^1}, \frac{1}{8^0} ]</math>
:*''Domo ch'ishan'' — ''human three&eight'':  (13<sub> base-8</sub> = 11 <sub>base-10</sub>)
:*''Eleven humans''.
The suffix -''ngo'' is used to mark ordinals.
