You can even be very extreme like I have been when describing
Boreanesian cases. Two cases; Core and Oblique. That's it. Reason
for this is cuz they really have multiple functions: the oblique
case is used only during oblique (non-nominative/ergative - ie.,
non-Core - cases), and the core cases for "unmarked" (ie., core)
cases. 8-)))) Pragmatics plays an important role.
