  Genitive case -   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The genitive case (also called the second case) is a grammatical case that indicates a relationship, primarily one of possession, between the noun in the genitive case and another noun.
In the case of constellations, it is useful to know the genitive of the constellation's Latin name, since this is used to make the Bayer designation of stars in that constellation.
In Baltic-Finnic languages, the accusative case -(e)n is homophonic to the genitive case.

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 zero morpheme.

 Grammatical case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In grammar, the case of a noun or pronoun is its grammatical function in a greater phrase or clause; such as the role of subject, of direct object, or of possessor.
While all languages distinguish cases in some fashion, it is only customary to say that a language has cases when these are codified in the morphology of its nouns — that is, when nouns change their form to reflect their case.
Nominative-accusative (or simply accusative): The argument (subject) of an intransitive verb is in the same case as the agent (subject) of a transitive verb; this case is then called the nominative case, with the patient (direct object) of a transitive verb being in the accusative case.

 Dative case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The dative case is a grammatical case generally used to indicate the noun to whom something is given.
The pronoun whom is also a remnant of the dative case in English, descending from the Old English dative pronoun "hwām" (as opposed to the nominative "who", which descends from Old English "hwā") — though "whom" also absorbed the functions of the Old English accusative pronoun "hwone".
In this case, the noun or pronoun's case is determined by the preposition, NOT by its function in the sentence.

 Genitive - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
In grammar, the genitive case or possessive case (also called the second case) is the case that marks a noun as being the possessor of another noun.

 Vocative case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
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 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.
The vocative case in Romanian is inherited from Latin.

 Illative case
The illative case, denoting direction of movement, is used rarely in the modern standard Lithuanian, although it's used in common spoken language, especially in its certain dialects.
The illative case was used extensively in older Lithuanian; the first Lithuanian grammar by Daniel Klein, that mentions both illative and i+accusative, calls the usage of the illative "more elegant".
The illative case in Lithuanian has its own endings, that are different for each declension paradigm, although quite regular, compared with some other Lithuanian cases.

 Objective (grammar)
Several relatively common usages of objective pronouns in the subject position are regarded as errors by prescriptivists, though descriptive grammarians and linguists class such usages as dialect and a natural part of language evolution.
In Latin and many other languages, the direct object is marked by the accusative case, while the indirect object is typically marked by the dative case.
Modern English preserves a case distinction for pronouns, but it has conflated the accusative and the dative into a single objective form (him, her, me, etc., which may function either as direct or indirect objects).

Emmitian is a highly inflected language comprising of twenty one cases, four of which are basic suffix noun endings and seventeen others comprising a compound system of noun synthesis, effectively replacing English prepositions.
There are three cases in all, comprising the rough equivilants of masculine, feminine and neuter cases.
These cases effectively eliminate prepositions from the sentence, as the case itself suggests (to an English reader) the pronoun, much as a Spanish verb might suggest a subject with it's conjugation.

 Ablative case information - Search.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Generalizing their function, however, ablatives modify or limit verbs by ideas of where (place), when (time), how (manner), etc. Hence, the case is sometimes also called the adverbial case; this can be quite literal, as phrases in ablative can be translated as adverbs.
In Finnish, the ablative case is the sixth of the locative cases with the meaning "from off of", e.g.
It is an outer locative case, used just as the adessive and allative cases to denote both being on top of something and "being around the place" (as opposed to the inner locative case, the elative, which means "from out of" or "from the inside of").

 Possessive case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Possessive case of a language is a grammatical case used to indicate a relationship of possession.
It is not the same as the genitive case, which can express a wider range of relationships, though the two have similar meanings in many languages.

 Nominative case   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The nominative case is a grammatical case for a noun.
Some writers on English use the term subjective case instead of nominative, in order to draw attention to the differences between the "standard" generic nominative and the way it is used in English.
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).

non-existence is in all cases nothing else but the absence of all character of reality, and hence there would be no sense (on the doctrine of origination from non-existence) in assuming that sprouts are produced from seeds only, curds from milk only, and so on.
In no case non-existence would possess causal efficiency, simply because, like the horn of a hare, it is non-existence merely.--Further, if existence sprang from non-existence, all effects would be affected with non-existence; while as a matter of fact they are observed to be merely positive entities distinguished by their various special characteristics.
In those cases where a destruction of the peculiar nature of the cause is observed to take place, as in the case of seeds, for instance, we have to acknowledge as the cause of the subsequent condition (i.e.

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".
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).
In some cases both forms are still vying for attention: for example, for a librarian, the plural of appendix is appendices (following the original language); for physicians, however, the plural of appendix is appendixes.
