Nouns inflect for twelve cases, and the six “primary” cases are of PIE date: Nominative, Vocative, Genitive, Dative, Accusative, and Instrumental. The other six “secondary” case suffixes are agglutinative, added to the accusative: Perlative, Comitative, Allative, Ablative, Locative, and Causative.

*'''Locative''' and '''perlative''' are used when an action is accomplished by way of someone’s agency.
*'''Comitative''' is often used with the word ‘with’, in terms of accompaniment.
*'''Allative''' is used when expressing motion towards something.
*'''Ablative''' is used when expressing motion away from something. It implies a separation.
*'''Causative''' is often used with the word ''mic''(with), but in terms of referencing the tool in which something is accomplished.
