"For example, in Dothraki, it’s a simple matter to separate affixes from stems, but it’s not always simple to attach a meaning to a given affix. // Looking at the forms above, the stem afazh (“hot”) can be picked out fairly easily, but assigning a single meaning to each affix becomes either a very difficult process, or a trivial process (i.e. simply restating what’s there). However, it would seem a mistake to treat each form as entirely unrelated to the rest (i.e. as if each one had an entirely different affix)"
Ablative is probably my favorite case, I use it heavily in one of my own Conlangs. Circumfixes are new to me, but I like the idea of them. I wonder how extensive the case system is and if the cases are regularized with the affixes. If not it could get a bit complicated to learn.
I think DP has also dropped somewhere (The russian interview?) that we're going to have an Allative case, as well. I haven't run into that before.
