The Vadi texts from the [[Vadi#Example_texts|''Kalapái Scriptum'']] consist of correspondence involving two Vadi-speaking farmers who were embroiled in a boundary dispute between their neighboring properties near the end of the nineteenth century. The majority of the texts consist of letters laced with insults and ad-hominems between the neighbors, Sorvin and Éro, with increasing pettiness and immaturity as their lawsuit dragged on. Another set consist of correspondence to Dog Speaker neighbors who could translate Vadi to Minhast. These letters were appeals to the prefect, accompanied with maps and other documentation supporting their territorial claims, in hopes that the prefect would issue a judgment to the respective plaintiff. | The Vadi texts from the [[Vadi#Example_texts|''Kalapái Scriptum'']] consist of correspondence involving two Vadi-speaking farmers who were embroiled in a boundary dispute between their neighboring properties near the end of the nineteenth century.
