Rikane has a really small amount of cases, and thus a quite large amount of case syncretism : | |||
; Direct | |||
: The direct case acts like a nominative, except it can act as an accusative if the verb is in the passive voice | |||
; Indirect | |||
: The indirect case is the complete opposite of the direct case : it acts like an accusative, except when the verb is in the passive voice | |||
; Oblique | |||
: The oblique case marks every noun which isn't in the Direct nor in the Indirect | |||
; Genitive | |||
: The genitive case is used to indicate the possessor of an object. It can be completed by a particle, to show if the possession is either alienable or inalienable | |||
