Talk:Formative case

the reason to not count it as a suffix is pretty bad

Issue with this paragraph;

"The status of the suffix -ként in the declension system is disputed for several reasons. First, in general, Hungarian case suffixes are absolute word-final, while -ként permits further suffixation by the locative suffix -i. Second, most Hungarian case endings participate in vowel harmony, while -ként does not. For these reasons, many modern analyses of the Hungarian case system, starting with László Antal's A magyar esetrendszer (1961) do not consider the essive-formal to be a case."

For the first point, case-stacking is allowed in Hungarian. As for the second point, many cases in Hungarian are neutral and only have one form, as the vowels «i í e é» are neutral in Hungarian. Examples include "-ig" (terminative), "-ért" (causal-final), and others. I suggest adding other sources that agree with this, or rewording it to be more hesitant.
