The accusative-dative | The accusative-dative is used much more in the split verb paradigm, where it marks the patient of a transitive verb and both the theme and recipient of ditransitive ones. On top of that, applicative arguments are also added in the accusative-dative case. This may lead to situations where there are as many as three accusative-dative arguments in a clause. In these cases, context is usually sufficient to tell which argument fulfils which role. | ||

Whether or not these uses take verbal agreement depends on the valency of the verb. | Finally the accusative-dative case can be used to mark location, as well as movement motion towards something.
