The article investigates the process of cliticization in Maithili, specifically the question of clitic versus affix. This article, taking a cue from Zwicky and Pullum (1983), demonstrates that 'e' and 'o' alone should be described as clitics, and that he, ho and hi, hu should be treated as inflectional affixes.
