This way of forming the genitive is very common in Japanese; e.g., _Maria coto_ 'Mary's thing.' Two particles form the dative; i.e., _ni_ and _ie_. For example, _Pedro ni móxita_ 'I told Peter,' _Padre ie ague maraxita_ 'I gave, or offered, it to the priest.' There are five particles which form the accusative case; i.e., _vo_, _voba_, _va_, _ie_, and _ga_. The first, _vo_, is the most used; e.g., _Pedro vo iobe_ 'call Peter.' _Va_ is used when one wishes to express in particular a noun in the accusative; e.g., _niffon guchi va xiranu_[54] 'I don't know Japanese.' The ending _voba_ is the same as _vo va_, changing the second _v_ to _b_ they use it as _va_; e.g., _fune voba nori sutete; cane bacari tori maraxita_ 'abandoning ship, I took only money, or gold, with me.' _Ie_ is used to indicate the place to which one goes; e.g., _Roma ie mairó_ 'I go to Rome.' _Ga_ is used for nouns which indicate non-living or humble things; e.g., _are ie gozare, mono ga móxitai_ 'go there! I have something to tell you.' The accusative is also formed without any particle, as has {113} been shown in the example second before last, where the second accusative is without a particle. The vocative is formed with the particle _icani_. It is not suffixed to words as are the other particles but it is prefixed instead; e.g., _icani qimi core vo goronjerarei_ 'look at this, My Lord.'[55] Usually, however, the vocative is formed without any particle; e.g., _Padre sama_ (8 _qicaxerareio_ 'listen, Reverend Father.' There are three particles for the ablative; i.e., _iori_, _cara_, and _ni_. The third indicates the place in which; e.g., _iglesia ni gozaru_ 'he is in church.' Sometimes _ni_ is used after _no_; e.g., _sonata no ni xi aru ca?_ 'are you going to make it yours, or take it for yours?' But this seems much more a dative than an ablative. The particles _cara_ and _iori_ are more common in the formation of the ablative; e.g., _Madrid cara maitta_ 'I came from Madrid,' _Pedro iori corosareta_ 'he was killed by Peter.'
