	5 Case theory
		As is evident from (3), the distinction between nominative and accusative case is marked in German on the head of the noun phrase, the determiner.
		The PIE ablative indicated the source of movement (as in I drove from Chicago), the locative was used for locations (as in I used to live in Chicago), and the instrumental marked instruments or means (as in He cut it with his pocketknife).
		For instance, the dative and ablative singular are homonymous for avus 'grandfather', the genitive and the dative singular are homonymous for femina 'woman', and the dative and the ablative plural are homonymous for both nouns.

	Ablative case
		The ablative case is a case found in Latin and Sanskrit.
		The Latin ablative combines the Indo-European ablative (indicating "from"), instrumental[?] (indicating "with" or "by") and locative (indicating "in") cases.
		In the Finnish language (Suomi), it is the sixth of the locative cases with the basic meaning "from off of" - a poor English equivalent, but necessary to distinguish it from "from out of" which would be Elative case.

		The locative case is found in some classical Indo-European languages, particularly Sanskrit and Latin.
		It is still found in uncommon, archaic or literary use in certain modern Indian languages (such as Marathi in which a separate ablative case has however disappeared).
		The locative case corresponds vaguely to the preposition "in", "at", or "by" of English and indicates a final location of action or a time of the action.

	ABLATIVE
		The Ablative Case is historically a conflation of three other cases: the true ablative or case of separation ("from"); the associative-instrumental case ("with" and "by"); and the locative case ("in").
		Caesare duce: Similarly, this kind of ablative absolute may be analyzed as a temporal ablative (that is, a metaphorical extension of the locative case) or as an associative-instrumental ablative (for instance, in the sense of "with Caesar being the leader").
		The Ablative of Respect seems to have had a composite origin or was influenced at least by two different case-functions: the locative function and the instrumental function.

	Types of Ablatives
		The ablative of place where shows in what location a person or object is. It is important that you keep in mind that the person or object is completely within this place and not moving somewhere else (which requires a different prepositional construction).
		The best way to determine if you have an ablative of means is to try and translate it "by means of" whatever the noun is - by means of an embrace, by means of a stick, by means of his tunic.
		In nearly every case, the answer to this question will be the word cum followed by a person in the ablative case (of course, animals and other objects could be).

		The Ablative of Manner, you may recall, is a way to use a noun as an adverb.
		The uses of the ablative case can be divided into two groups: (1) uses of the ablative with a preposition; (2) uses of the ablative without a preposition.
		When you have a preposition governing an ablative case, you just translate the meaning of the preposition and then translate the meaning of the noun.

	Estonian Inflection
		The nominative case is used when the noun is the subject (or predicate) of the sentence.
		The elative case is used to show something else is going outside of it, or made from it.
		The translative case is also used as a short form of the postposition 'jaoks' to show what something is for.

		They differ from non-i-stem nouns in four cases: (1) the ablative singular is a long "-i" instead of the normal short "-e"; (2,3) the nominative (and therefore the accusative) plural is "-ia" instead of just plain "-a"; (4) the genitive plural is "-ium" instead of "-um".
		It's in the ablative case because that is the case required by the preposition which is governing it.
		The Ablative of Manner affords the writer the opportunity to elaborate on the manner in which the action is being performed in a way a simple adverb does not.

	Instrumental case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The instrumental case is a grammatical case used to indicate that a noun is the instrument or means by or with which the subject achieves or accomplishes an action.
		An instrumental/comitative case is arguably present in Turkish and other Altaic languages, as well as in Tamil.
		In Classical Greek, for example, the dative case is used as the instrumental case.

	Lesson III
		Greek geometers thought of the cases of nouns as radii in a circle, with the "independent" nominative and vocative cases a vertical radius, casus recti, with the other cases inclined more and more in the first quadrant, the casus obliqui or dependent cases, that had to lean on something.
		So far, we know that the nominative case is used for the subject of the sentence, the accusative for the direct object, the dative for the indirect object, the ablative as the object of some prepositions, and the genitive to show the association of one noun with another.
		Cases are used in the specification of space, place and time, often without a preposition.

	Zhyler Noun Cases
		In this case, the noun in the genitive (which is the possessor) comes first, and the noun in the possessive (which is the possessed noun) comes second.
		The state or condition, in Zhyler, is expressed with the nominative case, and the object (that is, the one who's left in that state) is expressed with the comitative.
		As opposed to the caritive case, which is used with instruments that an action is completed without, and the privative case, which is used with individuals that an action is completed without, the abessive is used for possessions or persons (e.g., relatives) that one doesn't have.

	Declensions and Cases (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		To show that a word is in the nominative case, (i.e., the word functions as the subject of a clause), modern English speakers put that word in front of a verb.
		Ablative Case: Words in this case typically indicate source, origin, separation, or causation, though certain prepositions or special verbs will require an object to be in the ablative.
		Interjective Case: Words in the interjective case are outbursts or exclamations separate from the rest of the sentence's syntax.

		The nominative case can be marked by the particle ber but this is generally only used to avoid ambiguity and is therefore not as widely used as the nominative particles of other languages.
		The genitive case is used to show possession and is placed immediately after the first member of a genitive construction.
		The ablative case carries the meaning 'from' and shows separation away from an object.

		An Ablative Absolute phrase is used when a thought, condition or action is grammatically separate but modifies the meaning of the rest of the sentence.
		The ablative absolute is sometimes called an adverbial phrase because it modifies the whole sentence as an adverb modifies the action of a verb.
		Nuntium, although not in the ablative case, is considered part of the AA phrase because it is direct object of the active participle.

		Besides its proper ablative functions (taken in Greek by the Genitive), it comprises those of the Primitive Instrumental (partly taken in Greek by the Dative) and most functions of the Locative Case.
		The ablative tells us that the concept to which the ablative case refers (the 5th hour) is outside, and different from the (accusative) direct object or the (nominative) subject.
		Latin has its own way of handling prepositions depending on the nouns and their cases in the sentence, including the ever versatile 'in', which can take many different meanings depending upon the case of the object.

		The ablative absolute is connected to the rest of the sentence in meaning only, not grammatically.
		Recall that passive voice used ablative of agent to tell us who was doing the action: "haec femina magistro laudata est", "this woman was praised by her teacher." If we indicate agent in a passive periphrastic, we use the dative case.
