Matthews is proposing that the mood markers are clitics, syntactically positioned at the end of an S, and later readjusted to form phonological words with the V that precede them. These are special clitics (they have no fully form in any position) - and from meaning, S' clitics.

S' clitics are a subtype of SPECIAL CLITICS (clitics not partaking of the distribution of corresponding full forms) which function as constituents of S' - i.e. as modifiers of S. Special clitics marking mood, tense, and aspect are typical S' clitics […].
