Unfortunately, I can't. But I think I've read something like Latin has
sometimes accusative+genitive or so ... I really don't know - that's why
I'm asking. If something like that really doesn't exist I'm sorry to have
posted a message that increases the count of the daily posting limit.

I can't say for Latin, not having been offered that part of an education, but
Orelynna does something similar--that is, Genitive case can appear on a noun
already showing a case marker. That is its only "combined case" occurrence.
