Se '''nemniendlica cásus''' is [[declínung|grammatisc cásus]] for namum. Sume wríteras on [[Englisc geþéodu|Englisce]] brúcaþ þæt word '''subjective cásus''' for nemniendlicne, in order to draw attention to the differences between the "standard" generic nominative and the way it is used in níwum Englisce.
 
Se nemniendlica mearcaþ, generally, þá forþsetennesse sumes wordes. Nemniendlice cásas sind gefundene in [[Lǽden geþéodugeþéode|Lǽden]] and [[Eald Englisc|Ealdum Englisce]], ongemang óðrum geþéodum. Englisc hæfþ still retains some nominative [[pronoun]]s, as opposed to the [[accusative case]] or [[oblique case]]: ''ic'' (accusative ''mec''), ''wé'' (accusative ''úsic''), ''hé'' (accusative ''hine''), ''héo'' (accusative ''híe'') and ''gé'' (accusative ''éowic''). An archaic usage is the singular second-person pronoun ''[[thou]]'' (accusative ''thee''). A special case is the word ''you'': Originally ''ye'' was its nominative form and ''you'' the accusative, but over time ''you'' has come to be used for the nominative as well.
 
The nominative case is the usual, natural form (more technically, the ''least marked'') of certain parts of speech, such as nouns, adjectives, pronouns and less frequently numerals and participles, and sometimes does not indicate any special relationship with other parts of speech. Therefore, in some languages the nominative case is unmarked, that is, the nominative word is the base form or stem, with no flexion. Moreover, in most languages with a nominative case, the nominative form is the one used to cite a word, to list it as a dictionary entry, etc.
