Wikipedia's article on Declension and its subarticles on particular cases don't list all of the cases in that list, but they do list some cases that aren't in that list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_grammatical_cases Some at least of the cases in one list but not the other are different names for cases with the same basic function. For instance, "vialis" is described as another name for "prolative" (through, by way of) and "pertingent" seems to be the same as what I guessed above that "juxtapositive" meant. Some conlangs with cases that I don't think are on either list include Ithkuil and Ebisedian: http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0301c&L=conlang&D=0&P=53276 -- Jim Henry http://www.pobox.com/~jimhenry/conlang.htm ...Mind the gmail Reply-to: field
