According to the Rasthani '''ရသ်ထနိ''', the manuscript identified 8 cases which is defined in the book as "Fyaqä" '''ၾျငႄ'''. The eight fyaqä (cases) are the intransitive, ergative, accusative, instrumental, dative, ablative, genitive and locative cases.

Akhyan verbs exhibit a highly dynamic conjugation system that forms a core component of Akhyan's grammar. Verbs are notable for their morphological complexity, undergoing a wide range of conjugations based on specific grammatical attributes. Each verb root adapts to reflect these features, enabling to convey subtle distinctions in action, state, and the relationships between subject, object, and predicate.
Akhyan verbs exhibit a highly dynamic conjugation system that forms a core component of Akhyan's grammar. Verbs are notable for their morphological complexity, undergoing a wide range of conjugations based on specific grammatical attributes. Each verb root adapts to reflect these features, enabling to convey subtle distinctions in action, state, and the relationships between subject, object, and predicate.


Verbs in Akhyan are classified into three primary categories according to transitivity: Transitive ('''Kerraż''' | '''ကဲရ်ရၓ်'''), Intransitive ('''Padaizma''' | '''ပဒေဓ်မ'''), and Ambitransitive ('''Dosthu''' | '''ဒးသ်ထု'''). Transitive verbs, such as '''Girtan''' ('''ဂိရ်တန်''' “to carry”), require a direct object to complete their meaning. In contrast, intransitive verbs like '''Naman''' ('''နမန်''' “to sleep”) function independently of an object. Ambitransitive verbs demonstrate greater flexibility, operating as either transitive or intransitive depending on syntactic context.

==== Building Verbs ====
==== Building Verbs ====
Verbs are fundamentally composed of a root, conventionally represented by the mathematical symbol √. This root serves as the base form from which various grammatical features such as tense, person, number, mood, and voice, where they are all derived through morphological modification. For example, the root '''√girt'''- (or '''√ဂိရ္တ်-''') functions as the base for the verb Girtan ('''ဂိရ်တန်'''), meaning “to carry.” Some modifications are simple, meanwhile others can be complex & even incorporate two modification methods together.

==== Infinitives ====
==== Infinitives ====
Infinitives are formed through affixing '''-an''' '''-အန်''' into a verb root. For example, the infinitive of a verb root '''√niut- √နၖတ်-''' "to dance" is '''Niutan နၖတန်'''. Imperatives can be formed through removing the '''န်''' from a verb in the infinitive, leaving only the verb root without the asat. To illustrate, the '''န်''' is omitted from the verb '''Niutan နၖတန်''', leaving '''Niuta နၖတ''' as the imperative. This process is regular and applies to all verbs

==== Participles ====
==== Participles ====
Participles are non-finite verbal forms that function adjectivally. Although they originate from verb roots, they exhibit syntactic and semantic properties characteristic of adjectives. In Akhyan, participles are attested in both the active and passive voices, and they occur across four tenses: present, perfect, aorist, and future.

In Akhyan, participles are attested in both the active and passive voices, and they occur across four tenses: present, perfect, aorist, and future.


The imperative stem, derived from the infinitive form by omitting the final '''''-n''''' ('''-န်'''), serves as the foundational base for constructing several participial forms, most notably the aorist & future participles. In contrast, the present & perfect participles are formed directly from the verb root itself. The range of resulting participial forms is illustrated below by the word '''Thiźan''' '''ထိညန်''' "to tell" (root: '''√ထိည်-''')

===Adverbs===
==== Gerunds ====
===Particles===
A gerund is a verbal noun formed from a verb that functions syntactically as a noun while retaining some verbal properties. Gerunds are created by attaching specific suffixes to verb roots, a process that is notably irregular and does not align with the standard patterns of declension found in the rest of the language. Unlike in many other languages, Akhyan gerunds undergo declension for both case and voice, but cannot decline for number.

===Verb Conjugation===
Akhyan verb conjugation consists of two main types: Primary and Secondary. The Primary conjugation is a thematic set, meaning it uses a connecting vowel, often called a "theme vowel" between the verb stem and the personal endings. In contrast, the Secondary conjugation is athematic, meaning it lacks this theme vowel and attaches the endings directly to the stem, often resulting in more irregular or complex forms.
 
==== Primary System ====
The Primary system is a thematic set of verb forms characterized by the use of two distinct vowels, -a- and -e-, to indicate different moods. Specifically, the vowel -a- is used for the Indicative mood, while -e- marks the Subjunctive mood. This system operates within three main tenses: '''Present''', '''Aorist''', and '''Perfect'''. It is also important to note that in the Subjunctive mood, the following are distinguished by aspect, not tense.

The Present Tense of verbs are simply formed via affixing the various endings into the verb stem, connected by the thematic vowel. For instance the verb Naśan (verb root: √naś-) "to disappear" conjugated in the 3rd Person Plural Active Indicative becomes Naśati.

The perfect tense is formed through the perfect stem, which is created by modifying the verb root. This is usually done by reduplicating the first consonant of the root and placing it at the beginning of the word, followed by '''-e-'''. However, if the verb root already begins with a vowel, the prefix '''in-''' is added.

The aorist tense is formed using the aorist stem, which is created from the verb root by adding the prefix '''''e-'''''. In this process, the first vowel of the root is shifted to the position of the second vowel, and the original second vowel is removed. For instance, the verb '''Faran''' "to love" (rootː √far-), the aorist form becomesː '''Efr·a'''. Vülnan "to focus" (rootː √vüln-) is '''Evlün·a'''. If the verb root begins with a vowel, the first consonant that follows the vowel becomes the intermediary for vowel relocation. For instanceː Uppatan "to prove" (rootː √uppat-) becomes '''Epupat·a'''.

==== Secondary System ====
The Secondary system refers to a group of verb forms that are characterized as athematic. This system do not use thematic vowels unlike the Primary System. This system appears only in the Indicative mood and includes four main tenses: the Imperfect, Pluperfect, Future, and Conditional. A distinctive feature of these tenses is the use of the augment; a prefix added to the verb stem to indicate past time, applied to all except the Future tense.
