Philip: << Wikipedia says 64 cases. Where do you get "over 200" from? >> It's analysis (Maria Polinsky's written about it). Every single one of the locative cases has two forms: a (if I remember right) distal and non-distal form. That effectively doubles the number of cases. Then there was something else that bumped it up over 200. I'll have to search my typology notes... It does depend on analysis, though. Masha made a pretty convincing argument. -David ******************************************************************* "sunly eleSkarez ygralleryf ydZZixelje je ox2mejze."
