-Vadi verbs for the most part contain no grammatical inflection.  They do not mark for person, number, tense, or aspect.  Few, if any clitics attach to them.  Any affixes that appear on the verb are predominately derivational, most of which are deverbals to derive instrumental, locational, and occupational nouns.  Examples with the verb ''kora'' "to cut":
+According to the Traditionalists, Vadi verbs for the most part contain no grammatical inflection.  They do not mark for person, number, tense, or aspect. Instead, particles marking tense appear after the verb, the future marker ''nai'', and the past marker ''hai''.  Again, the ''Šibbūru'' School argues that a surface reading of the ''Širkattarnaft'' conceals the morphophonotactic processes that indicate these particles, when they appear after the verb root, are actually bound morphemes.  The mutations that occur between the verb root and the morphemes marking tense make a case for wordhood, i.e. that verbs do indeed take tense-aspect marking.  The clitics can also attach to pronouns, and undergo the same mutations that occur when they attach to a verb root.
+Vadi has several deverbal affixes to derive instrumental, location, and occupational nouns.  Other deverbal affixes derive abstract nouns, or infinitives.  Examples with the verb ''kora'' "to cut" and the most common deverbals include:
 *''-vir'': instrumental deverbal, e.g. ''kora-vir'' "knife"
 *''-ðai'': locational deverbal, e.g. ''kor-ðai'' "butcher shop"
