Perfiktous is a morphologically rich and agglutinative language, designed to express sacred, formal, and philosophical concepts with clarity and reverence. Its grammar is built around a system of grammatical cases, elaborate gender distinctions, and layered verbal morphology that encodes tense, aspect, mood, person, and number.

Nouns are marked for one of eight cases, each serving a distinct syntactic or semantic function.

The language distinguishes six grammatical genders, which includes a category for animals, beasts or beasts of female and/or male sex, Although later these genera were also extended to plants, especially when it was desired to differentiate a male plant from a female one.

Verbs in Perfiktous are highly inflected, combining multiple morphemes to express temporal, modal, and aspectual nuances. The verbal system includes three tenses (past, present, future), three aspects (imperfective, progressive, subjunctive), and three moods (imperative, infinitive, immediative). Person and number are encoded through dedicated affixes, often layered with other grammatical markers.

It has three grammatical persons and these are discriminated in number through a suffix that discriminates singular from plural, without this suffix, the word obtains a meaning similar to "some" and/or "any".
