case: case marking
The case relation in Khoekhoe is used for any case-marking element which is treated as a separate syntactic word (mostly postpositions). Case-marking elements are treated as dependents of the noun they attach to or introduce.

Note, quotative ti, when it is used for labels, and possessive di are analysed as case markers.
