Verbs are the most complex part of speech in Kjaxono. It is by far the most difficult aspect of Kjaxono for new speakers of the language to learn, due its system-wide irregularity and general difficulty.

The verbal system of Kjaxono consists of 5 different conjugations, which are called ''scales'' by most linguists. | Verbs are the most complex part of speech in Kjaxono.
