The objective case is similar to the accusative, but differs when the usage of multiple nouns in different cases is considered. For example, use of the nominative and objective will mimic an Indo-European nom/acc usage, while absolutive and objective will also do the same, with the absolutive taking place of the nominative. This gets more complicated when all 3 are used - nominative takes the ergative role, absolutive takes the absolutive role, and objective takes the indirect object role. | The objective case is similar to the accusative, but differs when the usage of multiple nouns in different cases is considered.
