Pataxea verbal morphology is substantially less complicated than Azkali verbal morphology: unlike in Azkali, in which all verbs can conjugate for the full spectrum of tense, mood, persons, etc, only a very small subset of Pataxea verbs can. The verbs that can conjugate like this are called ''synthetic verbs'', while the rest are called ''periphrastic'' (''verbs''). The only synthetic Pataxea verbs are '''is''' (to be), '''ia''' (to have), '''ahha''' (to do), '''eiexe''' (to have), '''reas''' (to run), and '''ea''' (to give). | Pataxea verbal morphology is substantially less complicated than Azkali verbal morphology: unlike in Azkali, in which all verbs can conjugate for the full spectrum of tense, mood, persons, etc, only a very small subset of Pataxea verbs can.

When using a periphrastic verb, however, an auxiliary verb (mostly ''is'' and ''ahha'') with the full range of person, tense, and mood information is required to fully parse a sentence. | ||
