==== ''Itu'' ====

''Itu'', as stated previously, is an auxiliary verb that conveys a future tense. Itu, unlike any other regular verb, conjugates for grammatical aspect ''and'' person. Unlike ''isan (to be)'' and ''huka (to have)'', which both conjugate for person (including the singular and a combined paucal/plural), itu conjugates for the singular, paucal, and plural. The ~~full list~~ of ~~forms~~ is ~~shown~~ in the ~~chart below;~~

''Itu'', as stated previously, is an auxiliary verb that conveys a future tense. Itu, unlike any other regular verb, conjugates for grammatical aspect ''and'' person. Unlike ''isan (to be)'' and ''huka (to have)'', which both conjugate for person (including the singular and a combined paucal/plural), itu conjugates for the singular, paucal, and plural. The imperfective and perfective aspects are defined as how they work in other languages. The bisective aspect, however, is unique to Azkali; it denotes a scenario in which the action is stopped by another action that the subject of the verb performs, or has performed to it, before the previous action is started again. An example of the bisective aspect in use can be highlighted in the example sentence ''"Go nakuz eki ngataz mai"'', meaning "I will see, then find him, before seeing again." In the bisective aspect, the interrupting action ''follows'' the auxiliary verb, while the action that is interrupted precedes it.
