Dialectical Pike County, that had refused to recognize the governing powers of the nominative case, nevertheless came out strong in classical elocution, and Tom Hardee, who had delivered his ungrammatical protest on behalf of Pike County, was no less strong, if more elegant, in his impeachment of Warren Hastings as Edmund Burke, with the equal sanction of his parents.
The grammar is at fault, he explains, because of their rudimentary knowledge of the Latin tongue; they had only learnt, hitherto, the first person singular and the nominative case so he says; and then proceeds to demonstrate, with unanswerable arguments, that Greek was the spoken language of Nepenthe at this period.
A boy cannot see much difference between the nominative and the genitive cases still less any occasion for aorists but he is a good hand at some game or other; and he keeps up his self-respect, and the respect of others for him, upon his prowess in that game.

“7. ‘Et;’ here two clauses are connected, having different subjects or nominatives; in the former ‘appetitus’ is in the nominative, and in the latter in the accusative.

"Yes, come away; let us close the door of the dining-room." They rushed pell-mell from the terrace. "You might have guessed that Jacinto would see you from his temple of learning," said Tafetan to the Troyas. "Don Nominative is our friend," responded one of the girls. "From his temple of science he says a great many sweet things to us on the sly, and he blows us kisses besides."
Ours is a truly grammatical union. Not the nominative case with verb not the relative with the antecedent not the adjective with the substantive affords a more appropriate illustration of conjugal harmony, than does our matrimonial existence.
The Standard tam is also used for the superlative. The Nominative of the pronoun of the second person singular is given once as ba-mi, and once as ma-mi. The ma or ba is the Standard emphatic prefix ma. Demonstrative Pronouns appear to be be, tei that, and uni, or nih, this. Be is used as a definite article in the phrase be jawmai, the earthquake. The Relative Pronoun is u-lah, who.
