Summary
The affixes -d/-ad, -isa, -isad existing in common-Kartvelian are confirmed in
modern Kartvelian dialects by more than ten variants. At the synchronic level they
appear as markers of four cases (morpheme); in particular, three of them derive
from common-Kartvelian (Adverbial, Intentional and Directional), and one is
characteristic of the Zan dialects.
The paradigm of the markers of the Adverbial, Directional and Intentional
cases is the following (the material is presented according to common-Kartvelian
and several modern Kartvelian subsystems):
