Umm it might just be me, but aren't you misinterpreting that quote?
Its words carry significantly more weight.
If Sliske comprehended the meaning behind the Black Howling of Xau-Tak then the parts of his brain responsible for processing languages and memory would gain enough gravity that his head would compact to the size of a child’s fist.
Mod Wilson refers to Xau-Tak's words being the ones having more gravity than those spoken to Sliske at that time of Kindred Spirits.
That being said, we know Jas talked to us (the World Guardian) by creating entities whose sole purpose was to speak one of his words at a time, just to shield us from his actual speech. It is perfectly reasonable (likely even) that Jas communicated with Sliske using the same method.
That means we do not know what gravity the true speech of Jas has, nor how it relates to Xau-Tak.
All we know is that Xau-Tak's speech is indeed capable of rendering a near god level Mahjarrat insane, something we have not seen from any of the non elder gods. Thus putting its power at the same level as elder gods is not unreasonable; at least it is above the non-elder gods we know, unless the gravity of the speech of Xau-Tak stands separate from its power.
I like the idea that Xau-Tak is an (elder) remnant of the previous revision, or something that exists even on a different plane of existence, outside of the space and time which confine the other Elder Gods.
This would explain why the Dragonkin tried to summon it. Perhaps they intended to make a deal with it to remove their curse to the Stone of Jas. After all, Xau-Tak would have equal or more power than the elder gods, making him capable of accomplishing such a feat. If we then try to decipher what happened according to the murals, things did not go as expected: likely the Dragonkin's information about Xau-Tak was incomplete, not knowing its chaotic properties. "One should not mindlessly follow gods or the godless:
