View source for Grammatical case

Like conjugations of verbs and general spelling, grammatical cases are not used consitently in OL. What follows is a first exploration.

==Equivalents to Old Greek==

===nominative/accusative===

τα τέκνα (the children) — <span class="fryas">THA ÀFTER.KVMANDA</span> (the descendants)

===genitive===

της νύκτες (of the night) — <span class="fryas">THES NACHTIS</span> (at night)

===dative===

===notes===

Plurals ending with -<span class="fryas">ON</span> migt be related (how?) to Old Greek '''-ων''', for example <span class="fryas">BYLDON, ÁGON</span> (images, eyes) that exist as varieties of <span class="fryas">BYLDA, ÁGA</span> and <span class="fryas">BYLDUM, ÁGUM</span>. Plurals ending with -<span class="fryas">UN</span> seem to be varieties of -<span class="fryas">ON</span>, e.g. <span class="fryas">ÁGUN, DÉLUN</span>.

Plurals ending with -<span class="fryas">UM</span> seem to have been used more for genetives and datives than for nominatives and accusatives, though (as with most spelling and grammar) very inconsistently.
