Morphology
Morphology, the Hux Kham language is largely analytic, however, there is still a small class of verbs that do conjugate according to persons, they are called "Conjugatable verbs".
All aux verbs and several other verbs are Conjugatable verbs, however, the class of Conjugatable verbs is a closed class, that means, there can be no new Conjugatable verbs.
the nominalization suffix -ta is also used in relative clauses, it is added to the ending of a relative clause.
Syntax
Theorically, the Hux Kham language is a V2 language, finite verbs come second in main clauses, however, as most verbs require an aux verb, Hux Kham language is effectively a SOV language.
Adpositions are postpositions, they come after the noun they modify.
Relative clauses are internally-headed.
Possessors precede the possessed noun, personal pronouns are added directly before the possessed noun, and the third pronoun wa is added between the possessor and the possessed noun when the possessor is not a pronoun, the wa added between the possessor and the possessed noun does not change even the possessor is plural:

- an sat - your(singular) house
