Unlike their Indo-European counterparts, declension classes in Estonian are not cued by gender (or, indeed, by any obvious syntactic or semantic property), and they are not, for the most part, marked by distinctive affixal variation.
The most serious criticism of the affix-stripping hypothesis concerns the fact that a mere listing of affixal conjunctions it presupposes fails to express word-formation rules governing the order of application of affixes, phonological and orthographic interactions between roots and affixes, as well as restrictions upon conjunctions.
In Indo-European languages, classes are predominantly marked by affixal variation, while inflectional stems tend to be relatively constant.
