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). All of these verbs were somewhat irregular, and in modern Azkali they have simplified considerably.

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.
 
In Pataxea, the sentence ''Kre saxanereal sarieak'' translates to "I ate with him". This can be broken down into:
