Case: case
The feature Case is used for the following Ancient Greek PoS:
ADJ, DET, NOUN, NUM, PRON, PROPN, VERB (only with participles). In oder to get a detailed overview on how case is realized in Ancient Greek, see Smyth’s Grammar (189-340; 347-354).
In Ancient Greek we distinguish the following 5 cases:
Nom: nominative
Examples
- ἀνήρ / anḗr “man”
Gen: genitive
Examples
- ἀνδρός / andrós “(of) man”
Dat: dative
Examples
- ἀνδρί / andrí “(to) man”
Acc: accusative
Examples
- ἄνδρα / ándra “man”
Voc: vocative
Examples
- ἄνερ / áner “man”
Loc: locative
Remants of old cases, such as the locative, are annotated as the corresponding syncretic case or as adverbs. There is one exception though, one occurrence of the locative case in the Perseus corpus (alternatively, it could be tagged as ADV):
Examples
- Ἀθήνησιν / Athḗnēsin “in Athens”
