*The '''genitive case''' indicates that one noun is possessed or proceeds from or is subordinate to another noun. This is marked by the prefix "a-". The genitive always follows the noun which possesses it or from which it proceeds. For instance "The teachers of this school are good" is translated as "''meRabiy '''a'''lumadrasarud mebenaan".''
*The '''locative case''' indicates that the noun is is site at which the action is being done. It precludes the need for a position-marking adjective or adverb. It is indicated by the "we-" prefix. For example. "The woman entered her house through the northern gate" is "''muFamiya muyadhaabayn lubayeet adhun '''we'''lubawaab luKeraat''" or "'''''we'''luBawaab luKeraat mufamiya muyadhaabayn lubayeet''".
* The '''instrumental case''' indicates that a noun is being used by another noun to accomplish a task. It is indicated by the "ye-" prefix. For example: "The judge adjudicated the criminals by the laws of Packilvania" is "''muQadim muqadmam mehirmatan '''ye'''leKhanon aBakhilfaniya''" or "''yeleKhanon aBakhilfaniya muqadim muqadma mehirmatan''"
* The '''infinitive''' is used to mark a non-finite verb that has noun-like properties in the context in which is is used. It is indicated through the "kha-" prefix. For example the sentence "Marriage is important to unite the family" translates to "''luZawija lubasishme '''kha'''luikhtifiya lubayeet''" or "'''''kha'''luIkhtifiya lubayeet luzawija lubasishme''". Take note that usually everything after the kha-, ncluded other words, comprise the infinitive phrase and move with it in the sentence. In this case, ''khaluikhtifiya lubayeet'' comprises the infinitive phrase.
