 ====== Nominative case ======
-**//Nominative case//** (abbreviated as NOM) is the [[grammar_case|grammatical case]] of [[grammar_noun|nouns]] and [[pronouns]] that marks the [[syntax_subject|subject]] of a [[grammar_verb|verb]]. That's why it may be called a //subjective case//. Nominative case in [[Nûrlâm]] has no special ending, and it is the default dictionary form. The term "nominative" is used only for Standard and Modern language. In Archaic Nûrlâm //absolutive case// is used instead (see below).
+**//Nominative case//** ([[abbreviations|abbreviated]] as NOM) is the [[grammar_case|grammatical case]] of [[grammar_noun|nouns]] and [[pronouns]] that marks the [[syntax_subject|subject]] of a [[grammar_verb|verb]]. That's why it may be called a //subjective case//. Nominative case in [[Nûrlâm]] has no special ending for nouns, and it is the default dictionary form. However pronouns have completely distinct forms for subject and object use, so see an article about them for more information.
------------------------------
+Nominative case is also used in [[syntax_predicate#compound_predicate|compound predicates]] with nouns.
-====== Absolutive case ======
-**//Absolutive case//** (abbreviated as ABS) is used only in Archaic Nûrlâm with its //[[syntax_ergative|ergative]]// structure. It can mark both the subject of //intransitive// verb and the [[syntax_object|object]]/[[syntax_patient|patient]] of //transitive// verb. Absolutive case of nouns is similar to nominative with zero ending, but for pronouns subject and object forms are different. So for pronouns terms Subjective and Objective case are more suitable.
