The [[w:Dative case|dative]]-[[w:Accusative case|accusative]] case is used to mark the patient (also called the object) of transitive verbs, and both the theme (direct object) and recipient (indirect object) of ditransitive verbs.  While in theory the overlap of these two roles may lead to confusion, in practice confusion is rare, and usually resolved via context.  In cases where resolution of ambiguity is necessary the preposition ''a'' (''alo'' or ''alon'') with the definite article) may be used to mark the indirect object.

Finally the dative-accusative case can be used to mark location, as well as movement motion towards something.  While the [[w:Locative case|locative]] meaning does not take verbal agreement, the allative meaning does, unlike in [[Aeranir]], where verbs of motion can never take an accusative argument.  
Finally the dative-accusative case can be used to mark location, as well as movement motion towards something.  Whether or not these uses take verbal agreement depends on the valency of the verb.
