Kjaxono verbs have 7 aspects: the ''perfective, momentative, prospective, imperfective, progressive, stative,'' and ''gnomic.'' When included, aspect is marked alongside tense (tense being doubly marked) in the '''6a''' subslot of '''At²''' slot of the verb template as seen below.     
Kjaxono verbs have 4 aspects: the ''Perfective'', ''Habitual'', ''Continuous'', and ''Gnomic.'' When included, aspect is marked alongside tense (tense being doubly marked) in the '''6a''' subslot of '''At²''' slot of the verb template as seen below.     


A unique feature only found in the [..] language family is the prescence of what is translated as ''pattern''. Pattern is described in most grammars of [[Kjaxono language|Kjaxono]] as an event's manner, in relation to time. Pattern should not be confused with aspect, aspect being how an event extends over time. The two are often entangled, and in combination can produce many very precise scenarios. There are four patterns in Kjaxono:

Note: the perfect is combined with the nonpast tense word finally. While considered seperate suffixes, voice suffixes change the aspect and tense markings they follow when they appear together. Since this is the case, there are two tables with voice: by themselves, and combined with the aspect and tense suffix. Most aspect and tense combination suffixes display only a past and nonpast/perfect distinction, however the perfective and imperfective do not. The perfective and momentane aspects have merged phonologically in the past tense.
