Well, after checking, I discovered that the paradigm presented up there is
wrong. It should be:

        Sg.     Pl.
Direct  roys    roy
Oblique roy     roys

Exactly the oppositve ;))) . As for its etymology, the "Direct" case (I prefer
the term "Subject") is directly the offspring of the Latin nominative case
(merged with the dying vocative), while the Oblique case comes from the fusion
of all the others (accusative, dative, genitive and ablative).
