For example, Dixon describes " proto-Pamir " as having, in the present tense, the direct case for S and A and the oblique case for O ( a nominative accusative alignment ), and, in the past tense, the direct for S and O and the oblique for A ( an absolutive ergative alignment ).

When the infinitival subject is coreferent with a word constructed with the governing verb in a higher syntactic level, in other words, when the subject of the infinitive is itself ( a second ) argument of the governing verb, then it is normally omitted and understood either in the oblique case in which the second argument is put, or in the accusative as in any other accusative and infinitive construction.

It is the oblique case of the nominative " trobaire " composer ", related to " trobar " to compose, to discuss, to invent " ( Wace, " Brut ", editions I . Arnold, 3342 ) It may come from the hypothetical Late Latin * " tropre " to compose, to invent a poem " by regular phonetic change.

The Philippine cases are only approximately equivalent to their namesakes in other languages, and are therefore placed in quotes . ( " Direct " as used here is commonly called " nominative " or " absolutive ", for example . ) The " ergative " case is identical in form to the Philippine genitive case, but it is common in ergative languages for the ergative case to have the form of an oblique case such as a genitive or locative.

The direct case is often imprecisely called the " nominative " in South Asia and " absolutive " in the Philippines, but linguists typically reserve those terms for grammatical cases that have a narrower scope .

Thus, in nouns, the Ancient Greek third declension, which showed an unequal number of syllables in the different cases, was adjusted to the regular first and second declension by forming a new nominative form out of the oblique case forms : Ancient Greek " ho pat r " ( A ????? ) > Modern Greek " o pat�ras " ( A ??????? ), in analogy to the accusative form " ton pat�ra " ( ?x ? ?????? ).

The letters " J " and " I " were not fully distinguished in English until the 17th century, so that " Iesus " and " Jesus " were fully equivalent before that time ( a swash glyph variation, not a distinction between separate letters ) .

Lowth's method included criticising " false syntax "; his examples of false syntax were culled from Shakespeare, the Addison's sentence " Who should I meet the other night, but my old friend ? " on the grounds that the thing acted upon should be in the " Objective Case " ( corresponding, as he says earlier, to an oblique case in Latin ), rather than taking this example and others as evidence from noted writers that " who " can refer to direct objects.

:: : To take one of your examples, Gallia Narbonensis, " Gallia " is the Latin for the country of Gaul . " Narbonensis " is " Narbon-", the city of Narbo ( which forms its oblique case endings with an-n-, hence its modern name, Narbonne ), plus "-ensis ", a common Latin suffix meaning something like " belonging to ( a place ) " . ( So you were nearly right, but the suffix is "-ensis ", not "-nensis "-the " n " belongs to the first part of the word . ) The English ending "-ese ", as in Japanese or Portuguese, is its linguistic descendant .-- talk ) 21 : 06, 20 December 2015 ( UTC)
