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.

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").
