Noun Adjective Order
In English, adjectives tend to precede the nouns which they describe. In Wichita, adjectives follow their corresponding noun. We fixed this by flipping around the adjectives and nouns in the rtx. file. For example, "kˀítaːkskhac" (white coyote) output coyote white, so we reordered the words to resolve this.
