Topic: Comitative case

	Encyclopedia: Nominative case
		The nominative case is a grammatical case for a noun.
		This declension (case) indicates a change in state of a noun, with the general sense of becoming X or change to X. In the Finnish language, this is the counterpart of the Essive case, with the basic meaning of a change of state.
		In nominative-absolutive languages, the nominative case marks the subject of a transitive verb or a voluntary subject of an intransitive verb, but not an involuntary subject of an intransitive verb (for which the absolutive case is used).

	Vocative case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The vocative case is the case used for a noun identifying the person (animal, object, etc.) being addressed and/or occasionally the determiners of that noun.
		In Latin, e.g., the nominative case is lupus and the vocative case is lupe!
		In English the vocative case is not marked, but English syntax performs a similar function; witness: "John, could you come here?" or "I don't think so, John", where "John" is neither subject nor object of the verb, but rather indicates the person to whom the statement is being addressed.

	Comitative case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Comitative case is used where English would use "in company with" or "together with".
		In the Estonian language comitative is also used to denote when something is used as an implement - kirvega (with axe / using an axe) or as a means of transport laevaga (by boat).
		In the Finnish language, the comitative is rare and not used in spoken Finnish.

	Accusative case

		The same case is used in many languages for the objects of (some or all) prepositions.
		This is the form in nominative case, used for the subject of a sentence.

		The dative case is a grammatical case generally used to indicate the noun to whom something is given.
		The Old English language, current until approximately the time of the Norman Conquest in 1066, had a dative case; however, the English case system gradually fell into disuse during the Middle English period, when the accusative and dative pronouns merged into a single objective pronoun used in both roles.
		The pronoun whom is also a remnant of the dative case in English, descending from the Old English dative pronoun "hwÄm" (as opposed to the nominative "who", which descends from Old English "hwÄ") â” though "whom" also absorbed the functions of the Old English accusative pronoun "hwone".

	Genitive case
		The genitive case is an adjectival form of a noun that shows some sort of relationship between itself and what it describes.
		It is a common misconception that English nouns have a genitive case, marked by the possessive -'s ending.
		Linguists generally believe that English possessive is no longer a case at all, but has become a clitic, an independent particle which, however, is always written and pronounced as part of the preceding word.

	Instrumental case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In linguistics, the instrumental case indicates that a noun is the instrument or means by which the subject achieves or accomplishes an action.
		The instrumental case appears in Old English, Georgian, Sanskrit, and the Balto-Slavic languages.
		An instrumental/comitative case is arguably present in Turkish and other Altaic languages.

		The patient of a (transitive) verb is in the accusative case.
		The trigger may be identified as the agent, patient, etc. Other nouns may be inflected for case, but the inflections are overloaded; for example, in Tagalog, the subject and object of a verb are both expressed in the genitive case when they are not in the trigger case.

	Oblique case (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		In linguistics, an oblique case is a noun case that is used generally when a noun is the predicate of a sentence or a preposition.
		An oblique case can appear in any case relationship except the nominative case of a sentence subject or the vocative case of direct address.
		It contrasts also with an ergative case, used in ergative languages for nouns that are direct actors; in ergative languages, the same case is used for a direct object, and for the subject of a sentence where the subject is being passively described, rather than performing an action.

		The locative case belongs to the general local cases together with the lative and case.
		In the Finnish grammar, the locative is included in the essive case.
		In the Hungarian language, nine such cases exist, yet the name locative case refers to a form (-t/-tt) used only in a few city/town names along with the Inessive case or Superessive case.

		The accusative case of a noun is the grammatical case used to mark the direct object of a verb.
		Most modern English grammarians feel that due to the lack of declension except in a few pronouns, where accusative and dative have been merged, that making case distinctions in English is no longer relevant, and frequently employ the term objective case instead (see Declension in English).
		In English, which has mostly lost the case system, the definite article and noun — "the car" — remain in the same form regardless of the grammatical role played by the words.

		In ergative-absolutive languages, the absolutive case is used for a direct object (the subject will then be in the ergative case); but the absolutive case is also used for the subject of an intransitive verb, where the subject is being passively described, rather than performing an action.
		In analytic Indo-European languages, the oblique case is a relic of the original, more complex system of noun cases from the common Proto-Indo-European language.
		Oblique cases appear in the English pronoun set; these pronouns are often called objective pronouns.

	Zhyler Noun Cases
		The nominative case is the case the subject of the sentence is in, unless the verb specifies otherwise (and it does, every so often).
		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.
