Nouns
nouns are very simple: they don't decline at all. All nouns are dictated by the word order and prepositions. Most of the time a particle-like adjective or preposition can add meaning.

Voice
There are 4 Shax voices: the active, the causitive, the associative, and the middle. The causitive is self-explanitory. The associative is an "each other" clause. The middle is the reflexive.

Mood
There are 6 moods in Shax: the indicative, adhortative, dehortative, imperitive, the subjunctive, and interrogative. The adhortative is where the speaker encourages the object to do something. The dehortative is where the speaker discourages the object to do something. The interrogative is where the speaker asks a question. The subjunctive just shows that the verb is not real. though it is used mainly to make the future.

Tense
There are three tenses: the present perfect, the past, and the historic past. The historic past is talking about an event so far back in time that you don't remember it or exists during its taking place. The future tense is made by the present perfect tense in the subjunctive.

Person
There are 4 persons in Shax: the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th. The fifth person is talking about any person in retrospect.

Number
There are 2 numbers: the singular, plural, and collective. The plural and collective usually mean the same thing in Shax, but when talking of things like water, sand, stars, rocks, land, etc they use the collective number as it is more than just plural.

Conjugation
The condition in the typewriter text is phonetic. The infinitive is -qa
