When I first found out what case was, I went and sketched endings for abo=
ut=20
20 cases, mostly special prepositional cases. It was called L=F3e. (acute=
=20
accent =3D nasal vowel) I liked it; wish I could find the notes now. Anyw=
ay,=20
my diversion from Asiteya has nominative, accusative, relative (ergative =
and=20
genitive, thanks to a recent thread), dative, locative, and partitive.=20
What's that? 6? THat's a reasonable, safe number. WHere you get to be=20
creative is in *which* six.
