case: case marking

The case relation is used for any case-marking element which is treated as a separate syntactic word (including prepositions, postpositions, and clitic case markers). Case-marking elements are treated as dependents of the noun or clause they attach to.

In Turkish, case marking is typically done through suffixation, in which case the case-marked word will carry the appropriate Case feature. The case relation marks postpositions, and some of the case-like suffixes that are tokenized as separate syntactic tokens (inflectional groups).

Currently, we also use case for some not-so-case-like modifiers.
