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

| === 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").
