The PIE case system was drastically simplified, however inflections show some of the inherited complexity. Stems are given with two forms: the nominative/absolutive singular ending and the oblique stem vowel used for all other cases: the case endings are agglutinated to this stem, and generally have postvocalic and postconsonantal allomorphs. There are six cases - nominative/absolutive, ergative, accusative, dative, equative (a likely Hurrian influence) and locative - plus a relic genitive. | The PIE case system was drastically simplified, however inflections show some of the inherited complexity.
