The [[w:Direct case|indirect]]-[[w:Ablative case|ablative]] case ({{interlinear |IND}}) is used to mark core arguments of a verb exclusively in the nominative and ergative paradigms. It is never used with intransitive verbs, because is appearance depends on the person of the direct-genitive argument. In the nominative paradigm, it marks the patient of a transitive verb and the recipient of a ditransitive verb. In the ergative paradigm, it marks the agent and the donor. Additionally the indirect-ablative case is used for applicative arguments in the nominative paradigm, with the old indirect-ablative argument moving into the accusative-dative case. | |||
