Again, the word for bread in ancient Armenian is hats; yet the Armenian on London Bridge is made to say zhats, which is not the nominative of the Armenian noun for bread, but the accusative: now, critics, ravening against a man because he is a gentleman and a scholar, and has not only the power but also the courage to write original works, why did you not discover that weak point?
The 'hence' in the last line has reference to what has been said before on the subject of kine, and not to the first line of the verse. Vitasokaih in the instrumental plural refers to Bhavanaih or some such substantive understood. It may also be read as a nominative plural, referring to Lokah.
"Jacinto?" asked the engineer. "What the deuce is that name you gave him?" "Don Nominative." The three girls burst out laughing. "We call him that because he is very learned." "No, because when we were little he was little too. But, yes, now I remember. We used to play on the terrace, and we could hear him studying his lessons aloud." "Yes, and the whole blessed day he used to spend singling."
They went to church indeed once a Sunday, yet effectually to counteract any benefit such an attendance might produce, it was the rule of the school that they should use only French prayer-books; of course, such superficial scholars as the Miss Bragwells would always be literally praying in an unknown tongue; while girls of better capacity and more industry would infallibly be picking out the nominative case, the verb, and a participle of a foreign language, in the solemn act of kneeling before the Father of Spirits, "who searcheth the heart and trieth the reins."
In that case one would parse it thus: nominative, HE; dative, HIM; possessive, HIS'N. Well, I will consider it a man and call it he until it turns out to be something else. This will be handier than having so many uncertainties. NEXT WEEK SUNDAY. All the week I tagged around after him and tried to get acquainted. I had to do the talking, because he was shy, but I didn't mind it.
At last Warrender suddenly, in the midst of a dreadfully boggled sentence, after Geoff had beaten himself on every side of these walls of words in bewildering endeavours to find a nominative, suddenly sprang up to his feet. "Look here," he said, "I think I'll give you a holiday to-day." Geoff, much startled, closed his book upon his hand. "I had a holiday yesterday."
"Do you know anything about it, Collins?" I said, coming up suddenly behind him in the hall. "About what, sir?" asked that respectable servant, looking round with some perplexity, as if in search of the nominative. I pointed to the table, now being carried into the dismantled dining-room.
T. Very right; it means an ascent. Now how comes it to mean an ascent? What is it derived from? Anabasis … it is the nominative. T. Quite right: but what part of speech is it? C. A noun,—a noun substantive. T. Very well; a noun substantive, now what is the verb that anabasis is derived from? C. is silent. T. From the verb ἀναβαίνω, isn’t it? from ἀναβαίνω. C. Yes. T. Just so.

With regard to the plain, simple sentence, "yih kahkar takht uthaya," we have somewhere seen the following erudite criticism, viz.: "With deference to Mir Amman, this is bad grammar. The nominative to kahkar and uthaya ought to be the same!!!" Now, it is a great pity that the critic did not favour us here with his notions of good grammar.
