== Grammar ==

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 '''2 cases''' - ''transitive'' and ''intransitive,'' as previously stated ~~- and~~ '''2 numbers''' - ''singular'' and ''plural.'' Kjaxono has three grammatical genders, of which are called ''types'' by Kjaxono linguists. These genders are usually referred to as ''Kjai'', ''Umare'', and ''Rubin.''

Kjaxono has three grammatical genders, of which are called ''types'' by Kjaxono linguists. These genders are usually referred to as ''Kjai'', ''Umare'', and ''Rubin.'' Kjaxono has six articles, accounting for definiteness/indefiniteness, and Kjaxono's three genders. These articles are suffixed onto the end of the nouns they modify.

Verbs are the most inflecting part of speech in Kjaxono - see '''[[Kjaxono language#Verbal system|§6 Verbal System]]'''.

=== Nouns ===

Kjaxono nouns inflect for two cases ~~- being the transitive~~ and ~~intrasitive~~. The '''transitive case''' is unmarked, and marks the subject of a transitive verb. The '''intransitive case''' is marked by the suffix ''-(ie)b''. The intransitive case marks the subject of an intransitive verb. The intransitive cases sometimes takes slightly different marking based on the final phonemes of the noun it is attached to. Generally, if the noun ends with 2 or less consonants, only -b is attached; otherwise, -ieb is attached.

As stated previously, Kjaxono nouns inflect for two cases, and 2 numbers. The '''transitive case''' is unmarked, and marks the subject of a transitive verb. The '''intransitive case''' is marked by the suffix ''-(ie)b''. The intransitive case marks the subject of an intransitive verb. The intransitive cases sometimes takes slightly different marking based on the final phonemes of the noun it is attached to. Generally, if the noun ends with 2 or less consonants, only -b is attached; otherwise, -ieb is attached. Grammatical number is marked via the addition of a numeral ''one'' or ''two'' after the noun, for the singular and plural numbers respectively. In addition, if an article is attached onto a noun, the noun changes slightly to agree with the article's gender.
