I'm just trying to find a real name for each function that can describe each of my suffixes, and prepositions or postpositions, both haven't got a name to make sense instantly about which morfological function they represent, but grammatical cases do. I think is more useful to assign a name to each grammatical function instead of having to explain each one... But I'm not an expert in linguistics.
Kota-Ebau wrote:And another question: I think I'm going to add other case to my language to complete 35. It's expressed as "instead of" in English and I think it's name could be "Adversative Case".
Kota-Ebau wrote:What I was trying to say is that we should explain the grammatical function of each case and then use it's name instead of explaining partially again and again and again. It's like if I explain the Abesive Case and since then I just use the name "Abesive" because all people will know what I'm talking about, instead of not naming it and each time I want to say "Abesive" I would have to say "The case that is used for this and this and is equal to the English preposition "Without". So I think is better the first option. Sorry for not explaining well before.

Do the case endings vary considerably according to the declension of the noun? Otherwise you could just name them by form, e.g. "the -kain suffix" or "the ending -òjr" in the same way that we say "without" or "the preposition instead of".

Kota-Ebau wrote:But later I think "Why do I need a Definite Article? I could need the Indefinite Article, but..." And then all the words on my conlang are suffixed with the gender and that's because I don't know how to construct a conlang other way!
