Verbs
Haiju conveys much information through verbs. A verb root can take prefixes or suffixes to convey speaker (person, gender, number, clusivity), mood, tense, voice, and aspect. All affixes are one or two letters. In the jussive mood, the subject marker becomes the object.

Subject prefixes
There are three non-grammatical genders in Heingaju: masculine, feminine, and inanimate. They always agree with the subject, that is, a chair would be inanimate, one's sister would be feminine, and one's father would be masculine. Gender markers are only used in singular conjugations unless every subject referred to by the person+number marker has the same gender. There are three persons: first, second, and third person, and two numbers: singular and plural, which produces a total of 6 person+number markers.

Tense Markers
Haiju has three basic tenses with two forms for each marker so it always agrees phonetically with the affixes around it.

The verb stem
Verb stems in Haiju are always one syllable and do not undergo any conjugation. However, dual verbs ("start playing" "start to sing" "need to move" etc) can stack next to each other.

Mood markers
If the verb root does not end in a consonant, the mood marker adds a -g- in between the end of the verb root and the beginning of the mood marker.

Indicative
The indicative mood is used for factual statements, such as in the examples listed below.
