Kjaxono is a decisively agglutinative language, with plentiful fusional and polysynthetic characteristics. Kjaxono, along with other languages of the [...] language family comprise the only example of languages with a morphosyntactic alignment of ''transitive-intransitive'' - with the agent of an intransitive verb being inflected for an intransitive case. This feature is one of the most notorious features of Kjaxono. Otherwise, Kjaxono nouns rather simply decline for only '''2 cases''' - ''transitive'' and ''intransitive,'' as previously stated. In addition, while not explicitely inflected, Kjaxono nouns also have '''2 numbers''' - ''singular'' and ''plural.'' Kjaxano features no grammatical gender and no adjectival agreement of any form.

In contrast, verbs are by far the most inflecting part of speech in Kjaxono. In some cases, they can represent entire sentences by themselves. Kjaxono verbs are often the epicenter of linguistic research into the language, and verbs in the [[Xjedgjaŋ languages|Xjedgjaŋ]] language family as a whole are generally one of their most known attributes in linguistics as a whole. For a overview, see '''[[Kjaxono language#Verbal system|§6 Verbal System]]''' and [[Kjaxono verbs]].
