For example, in Latin, these two sentences have the same word order, but opposite meanings, and we can tell this because the words change their shape a bit.
hospes leporem videt is "the host sees the rabbit," while hospitem lepus videt means "the rabbit sees the host." Because of these morphemes, Latin can use word order for other things, like emphasis or making a poem rhyme better.
And many other languages use this strategy, including Turkish, Modern Greek, and Yupik, the language group that spans Alaska and Siberia.
