====Genidative==== | |||
The '''genidative case'''(Latin: ''casus genidativus'') is a popular term used by Nawuhu linguists to refer to the merged genitive and dative case in Nawuhu, marked by an ''-u''. Originally two separate cases in Classical Nâuxu(''-eu'' and ''-u'' for the genitive and dative cases respectively), the two cases began to merge sometime around the arrival of initial colonisers, although some linguists argue that the Japanese possessive article の(''no''), which has similar properties as the Nawuhu ''-u'' suffix, could have accelerated the merging of the two cases, though this is still up to debate. | |||
