I had one here on my old website:
http://www.crosswinds.net/~muke/smithy/cases.html

I haven't touched it in ages (it _is_ on my _old_ website, after all) but it
lists all the cases I could find listed in the book on case that my library
has, along with either a short description or an equivalent English
preposition.

(If anyone wants to look at it and offer additions or corrections, I may
think of updating it onto my new page..)
