	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!
		The vocative case in Romanian is inherited from Latin.

	Accusative case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The accusative case of a noun is the grammatical case used to mark the direct object of a verb.
		"Whom" is the accusative case of "who"; "him" is the accusative case of "he" (the final "m" of both of these words can be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European accusative case suffix); and "her" is the accusative case of "she".
		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 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The genitive case is a grammatical case that indicates a relationship, primarily one of possession, between the noun in the genitive case and another noun.
		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 pronounced as part of the preceding word.
		In Baltic-Finnic languages, the accusative case -(e)n is homophonic to the genitive case.

		The vocative case is the case used for a noun identifying the person being addressed, found in Latin among other languages.
		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.

	Oblique case (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		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.

	Estonian Inflection

	Partitive case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The partitive case is a grammatical case which denotes "partialness", "without result", or "without specific identity".
		In the Finnish language, this case is often used to express unknown identities and actions.
		The case with an unspecified identity is onko teillä kirjoja, which uses the partitive, because it refers to unspecified books, as contrasted to accusative onko teillä (ne) kirjat?

	Declension: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com - All about Declension
		The case does not depend on whether a verb is used in a transitive or intransitive form.
		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.
		Positional: Nouns are not inflected for case; the position of a noun in the sentence expresses its case.

		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).

	Dative case - Open Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The dative was common among early Indo-European languages and has survived to the present in the Slavic branch, the Baltic branch and the Germanic branch, among others.
		As seen in the list above, Old English had a dative case; however, the 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.
		This merging of accusative and dative functionality in Middle and Modern English has led most modern grammarians to discard the "accusative" and "dative" labels in English in favor of the term "objective".
