Case endings on verbs

In some languages with nominal case marking, the case affix attaches directly[1] to the verb stem or inflected (finite) verb.[2]

Types:

NoCase: The language does not have case marking.

NoVCase: Nouns show case marking, but case affixes are never attached directly to verb stems or inflected (finite) verb.

VCase: Nouns show case marking; case affixes attach directly to verb stems, but not to finite verbs.

VFCase: Nouns show case marking; case affixes attach directly to finite verbs, but not to verb stems.

VCaseVFCase: Nouns show case marking; case affixes attach directly to verb stems and finite verbs.

 

[1] Therefore, examples in which a nominalizer appears between the verb form and the case marking should be excluded from consideration. This also applies to other derivational suffixes that form a nonfinite from the verb.

[2] This should be described in detail in the commentary.
