Pataxea

eNekealiges Pataxea, often shortened to Pataxea (Azkali: Noazkalai Patua) and variously referred to as Proto-Azkali, Ancient Azkali, and Archaic Azkali, is the ancestor of the modern Azkali language, which arose in Yamahat and Azkali after diffusing there from [northern continent].

Morphology

Verbs

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). 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:

Kre		saxan	ereal		sa	ri	ea	k
first person singular ergative pronoun		stem	past participle		third person singular masculine absolutive affix	past tense stem of is	accompaniment verbal version	first person singular ergative affix
I		eaten			he	was	with	I
