Sorbian cases #

This file defines the cases of Upper and of Lower Sorbian: "Upper Sorbian has seven cases (nominative, vocative, accusative, genitive, dative, instrumental and locative). Lower Sorbian, having lost the vocative, has only six cases" ([Sto93b], p. 614). Even in Upper Sorbian only masculine nouns have a separate vocative form, and only in the singular, save mać 'mother', vocative maći. In both languages the instrumental has lost its prepositionless function.
