-Six case morphemes have been identified.  They were originally classified by Schumann as postpositional clitics, whereas Iyyaħmi has convincingly argued for their status as affixes, based on statistical frequencies of certain anomalies in the litigants' use of the Minhast orthography.  This article follows Iyyaħmi's classification, as this has now become the prevailing position of Vadists today.  Note that the case endings trigger mutations in any clitic or word that follows it:
+Six case morphemes have been identified.  They were originally classified by Schumann as postpositional clitics, whereas Iyyaħmi has convincingly argued for their status as affixes, based on his work on Vadi mutations.  Nevertheless, whether they are clitics or affixes, most Vadists agree the shape of the actual markers follow the basic forms listed in the table below:
