"To slash is, speaking grammatically, to employ the accusative, or accusing case; you must cut up your book right and left, top and bottom, root and branch. To plaster a book is to employ the dative, or giving case; and you must bestow on the work all the superlatives in the language, you must lay on your praise thick and thin, and not leave a crevice untrowelled.

His interpretation of the passage and its connexion is as follows: our very remoteness and our glorious retreat have guarded us till this day. Rit. encloses the clause in brackets, as a gloss.

The genitive of words in -a is in this group as among the Greeks -as, among the Romans in the matured language -ae; that of words in -us is in the Samnite -eis, in the Umbrian -es, among the Romans -ei; the locative disappeared more and more from the language of the latter, while it continued in full use in the other Italian dialects; the dative plural in -bus is extant only in Latin.
Saddletree?" "I dinna ken whether I will or no ad avisandum, ye ken naebody should be in a hurry to make admissions, either in point of law, or in point of fact," said Saddletree, looking, or endeavouring to look, as if he understood what was said. "And the dative case," continued Butler "I ken what a tutor dative is," said Saddletree, "readily enough."
FIDĒI: this form of the genitive of fides is found also in Plautus, Aulularia 575, and Lucretius 5, 102. Fidĕi as genitive seems only to occur in late poets, but as dative it is found in a fragment of Ennius. Fidē as genitive occurs in Horace and Ovid. QUAMQUAM: see n. on 2 etsi. SOLLICITARI etc.: Cicero probably has not quoted the line as Ennius wrote it.

In the first place, I would leave out the Dative case.
NUSQUAM: i.e. nowhere in Homer. AIACIS: i.e. The genitive after similis is the rule in Cicero, though many examples of the dative are found even with names of persons; see Madv. on Fin. 5, 12. SED: see n. on 26. REDEO AD ME: so 45; Lael. 96, Div. 1, 97 ad nostra iam redeo; also below, 67 sed redeo ad mortem impendentem. VELLEM: see n. on. 26. IDEM: A. 238; G. 331, Rem. 2; H. 371, 2.
"Declining, girl! That is what it was. He would go like this: 'Nominative, rosa, Genitive, Dative, Accusative." "I suppose that I have my nickname too," said Pepe Rey. "Let Maria Juana tell you what it is," said Florentina, hiding herself. "I? Tell it to him you, Pepa." "You haven't any name yet, Don Jose." "But I shall have one.
George lived somewhere beyond. And again it would be "George! George!" And when the happy mornings came, and George with them, Taffy was as shy as a lover. So George never guessed. It might have surprised that very careless young gentleman, when he looked up from his verbs which govern the dative, and caught Taffy's eye, could he have seen himself in his halo there.
