Nouns inflect for twelve cases, and the six “primary” cases are of PIE date: Nominative, Vocative, Genitive, Dative, Accusative, and Instrumental. The other six “secondary” case suffixes are agglutinative, added to the accusative: Perlative, Comitative, Allative, Ablative, Locative, and Causative.

- Locative and perlative are used when an action is accomplished by way of someone’s agency.
- Comitative is often used with the word ‘with’, in terms of accompaniment.
- Allative is used when expressing motion towards something.
- Ablative is used when expressing motion away from something. It implies a separation.
- Causative is often used with the word mic(with), but in terms of referencing the tool in which something is accomplished.
