 Dative Case Encyclopedia @ 209.68.55.254 ()   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The dative case (also called the third case) is a grammatical case generally used to indicate the noun to whom something is given.
In this case, the noun or pronoun's case is determined by the preposition, NOT by its function in the sentence.
The dative/lative case usually occurs, as in the examples above, in combination with another suffix as poss-lative case; this should not be regarded as a seperate case, though, as many of the locative cases in Tsez are constructed analytically; hence, they are actually a combination of two case suffixes.

 Nominative case - QuickSeek Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The nominative case is a grammatical case for a noun, which generally marks the subject of a verb, as opposed to its object or other verb arguments.
The nominative case is the usual, natural form (more technically, the least marked) of certain parts of speech, such as nouns, adjectives, pronouns and less frequently numerals and participles, and sometimes does not indicate any special relationship with other parts of speech.
Therefore, in some languages the nominative case is unmarked, that is, the nominative word is the base form or stem, with no inflection; alternatively, it may said to be marked by a null morpheme.

This collapse of the separate case pronouns into the same word is one of the reasons grammarians consider the dative and accusative cases to be extinct in English — neither is an ideal term for the role played by "whom".
The information formerly conveyed by having distinct case forms is now mostly provided by prepositions and word order.
Modern English morphologically distinguishes only one case, the possessive case — which some linguists argue is not a case at all, but a clitic (see the entry for genitive case for more information).

These are sometimes not identified as the genitive case, and in many instances are not marked with the apostrophe, but these usages demonstrate use of nouns in the genitive case as adverbs in the Germanic language, indicating the time when the events described happen.
In the singular, a periphrastic form with of is used; this usage is somewhat archaic or poetic in contemporary English.
