Hey, how do you like that: I just found out that Hungarian has 20 (+?)cases.
Lots of local cases.
Now I wonder: is there a way to make a system of many many cases without
most of them being locative cases? What other things could be indicated on a
noun?
You've got your subject-object / agent-patient relationship,
instrumentality, indirect object or "recipient", genitive / possessive...
I'm trying to think how one would add more non-locative concepts to a big
list of cases.
