====Stress==== | ====Stress==== | ||
Stress in Izhkut is generally prototonic, although there is officially no stress pattern. When two words are agglutinised with a connective, like ''bay-e-liriëp''("road", lit. ''travel-<small>CON</small>-ground-<small>ACC</small>''), the stress is always placed on the connective, in this case being ''-e-''. | |||

Verbs in Izhkut end in either semi-vowels, like /j/ and /w/, or simply a close unrounded vowel. They are often combined with nouns with connectives. | |||

=== Connectives === | |||
Connectives are the most striking feature of Izhkut, and are often used to derive even basic words, like river(''diui-e-këdevey'', lit. ''flow.<small>SING</small>.<small>INF</small>-<small>CON</small>.<small>2</small>.<small>INF</small>-water-<small>ACC</small>''). The system to generate connectives in Izhkut is incredibly complicated. | |||
=== Derivational morphology === | |||
Derivational morphology | Nouns can be derived from words by connecting a verb with a noun using a connective. For example, take the word ''diui-e-këdevey''("river"). The word is an agglutinated word, comprising of the verb(''diui'', singular infinitive of ''diwëy'', "to flow"), a connective(''-e-'', an agglutinate infinitive dual form) and an accusative noun, ''këdevey''(accusative form of ''këdeval'', "water"). | ||
