Instrument and patient are pretty much standard, right? Widely
understandable, at least. And it's up to you, though you might want to
think of an instrumental case. If you have a lot of noun classes, it's
more difficult, because you might have to make a series of declensions.
How many cases does the average Bantu language have?
