3.5.8.1. Notes

Slovak has only prepositions, no postpositions.
For the disambiguation of word forms belonging to declension parts of speech it seems necessary to include the information about the case which each preposition requires.
A preposition can be contracted with a pronoun; such a preposition has Formation=c(ompound).
Prepositions can be vocalized (v->ve) if following word starts with certain consonant. These are not specially marked.
