	Declension - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The patient of a (transitive) verb is in the accusative case.
		This noun is in the trigger case, and information elsewhere in the sentence (for example a verb affix in Tagalog) specifies the role of the trigger.
		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.

	Greek Nouns (Shorter Definitions)
		A noun or pronoun that is the subject of the sentence is always in the nominative case.
		The accusative case is the case of the direct object, receiving the action of the verb.
		With many nouns, the case form of the vocative is the same as the nominative, but the context and function leave no question as to whether the person is being addressed or, contrariwise, spoken about.

	Oblique case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		casus generalis) is a noun case of analytic languages that is used generally when a noun is the predicate of a sentence or a preposition.
		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.

	8 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.
		Earlier, we said that the purpose of case is to encode a noun phrase's function in a sentence.
		Case licensing is a relationship between a head and an 'outside' noun phrase (that is, a noun phrase distinct from any projections of the case-checking head).

	8 Case theory
		We begin by illustrating the basic purpose of case, which is to identify a noun phrase's function or grammatical relation in the sentence (for instance, whether a noun phrase is a subject or object).
		For clarity, the noun phrase that is case-marked by the possessive determiner is underlined in (20b); the entire sequence in (20b) from the to cat is of course also a noun phrase.
		In languages with a dative-accusative distinction, case checking in VP shells and small clauses is a bit more involved than in English, and we therefore defer discussion of these constructions in these languages until the end of the chapter.

	Noun and Pronoun Characteristics
		You use the subject case for a noun or pronoun which stands alone, is the subject of a clause, is the subject complement, or stands in apposition to any of these.
		You use the object case for the object of a preposition, a verb, or a verbal, or for any noun or pronoun which stands in apposition to one of these.
		The number of a noun or pronoun is either singular, if it refers to one thing, or plural, if it refers to more than one thing (if the noun or pronoun is the subject, then its number will also affect the verb).

		In this case, it is near the speaker, so whatever book is nearest the person to whom we are speaking is the one that he or she is talking about.
		If a noun terminating in a consonant is to be declined using a plural case ending also beginning in a consonant, an -i- is inserted between the noun and case ending to facilitate pronunciation.
		Allative: This noun case means 'to,' 'into,' or 'upon,' and can be formed by adding '-nna' to the end of a noun ending in a vowel and '-enna' to a noun ending in a consonant.

	Cases in Indo-European Languages: an article by Cyril Babaev
		Case is a grammar category of nominal parts of speech which expresses their syntactic relation to other words of the sentence.
		The noun denoted the subject, the adjective meant its attribute, numerals were used for counting, and their declension was limited.
		Genitive was the case which denoted possessiveness of a noun, meant thet it belongs to someone or something.

		Hardly any English nouns decline, but the genitive case is indicated by the endings 's (belonging to one) and s' (belonging to more than one) in such phrases as the dog's bone, the cats' litter box.
		Differences in case appear only in pronouns, and then not always (you and it can be either nominative or objective).

		The remaining cases, in addition to the nominative, are the genitive, the possessive, the dative, the allative, the ablative, the locative, and the instrumental.
		The one noun case of modern English, except for the nominative, is the genitive.
		The Quenya genitive case has the ending -o (displacing a final -a, where such is present); the plural form is -on (added to the nominative plural), whereas dual genitives receive the ending -to (but nouns with nominative dual forms in -u would possibly have genitive duals in -uo rather than -uto).

		All languages also have transitive clauses containing a verb and two noun phrases; in this case the noun phrase which "could initiate or control the activity" is associated with the syntactic relation A, while the second noun phrase is associated with the syntactic relation O.
		If the grammatical property involved is case, then S and A are typically described as being in the "nominative (Nom.)" case, and O is in the "accusative (Acc.)" case.
		Table 4, this principle had a passive orientation in the case of transitive verbs, with the agent expressed either by a genitive noun phrase (4.i), or a genitive clitic pronoun (4.ii).

	Notes from the Dawn of Time
		In the case where the noun can also be an adjective, the implementation of parse(r_noun_group) could easily gobble up a noun believing it to be an adjective, then fail when looking for a following noun.
		Within that rule itself, backtracking a word and trying to see if that is the noun is a valid option (although in practice it would probably check for the noun case before the adjective case).
		The parser is looking at the third component of a noun group, which is a list of adjectives.
