About this verb#
- Prefixed perfective from вязать ('tie, knit') with с- ('together'). Class 6c, with з → ж mutation throughout the future (свяжу, свяжешь, свяжут) and shifting c-stress. Passive participle связанный with stem stress and the generalized з → з (anomalous, since ж would be expected). Aspect partner связывать (Class 1a) carries the alternated mutation throughout.
