Try Turkish instead.  The verb nearly always goes at the end, and modifiers
always follow what they modify.  You could translate RPN arithmetic pretty
near word for word into Turkish, with a few added "ile"'s and "de"'s ("with"
and "also", more or less) and the odd participial verb form instead of an
imperative.  - jack
