The Spanish Academy condemns the use of la instead of le as a feminine dative.

"Bici" is the Latin dative case of Bice, the abbreviation of Beatrice.

Some, taking the Latin language for their model, and turning certain phrases into cases to fill up the deficits, were for having six in each number; namely, the nominative, the genitive, the dative, the accusative, the vocative, and the ablative.

Reckless of the current usage of grammarians, and even of self-consistency, both author and reviser will have no objective case of nouns, because this is like the nominative; yet, finding an objective set after "the adjective like," they will recognize it as "a dative still existing in English!"See p. 156.

Mulligan, since, has chosen these four: "Nominative, Genitive, Dative, Accusative."Structure of E. Lang., p. 185.

And yet his case after to or for is not "dative," but "accusative!" Ib., p. 239.

17.The Greek term for the reciprocals each other and one an other, is a certain plural derivative from [Greek: allos], other; and is used in three cases, the genitive, [Greek: allælon], the dative, [Greek: allælois], the accusative, [Greek: allælous]: these being all the cases which the nature of the expression admits; and for all these we commonly use the objective;that is, we put each or one before the objective other.

"To these may be added verbs, which chiefly among the poets govern the dative.

The common reader might easily mistake the meaning and construction of this text in two different ways; for he might take some to be either a dative case, meaning to some persons, or an adjective to the nouns which are here expressed.

And sometimes, with like import, this verb, expressed or understood, may govern the dative; as, "Ego [sum] dilecto meo, et dilectus meus [est] mihi.

Here, as both the genitive and the dative are expressed in English by the possessive, if the former are governed by the verb, there seems to be precisely the same reason from the nature of the expression, and an additional one from analogy, for considering the latter to be so too.

This is a faulty relic of our old Saxon dative case.

If it is a "sign of the infinitive," because it is used before no other mood; so is it a sign of the objective case, or of what in Latin is called the dative, because it precedes no other case.

"In Anglo-Saxon," says Dr. Latham, "the dative of the infinitive verb ended in -nne, and was preceded by the preposition to: as, To lufienne = ad amandum [= to loving, or to love]; To bærnenne = ad urendum [= to burning, or to burn]; To syllanne = ad dandum [= to giving, or to give]."Hand-Book, p. 205.

In Latin, some interjections are construed with the nominative, the accusative, or the vocative; some, only with the dative; some, only with the vocative.

How do our grammarians now dispose of what remains to us of the old Saxon dative case?

"Adjectives signifying profit or disprofit, likeness or unlikeness govern the dative.

"In Latin there are six cases namely the nominative the genitive the dative the accusative the vocative and the ablative."

"To these may be added those verbs which, among the poets, usually govern the dative.

"Adjectives signifying profit or disprofit, likeness or unlikeness, govern the dative.

[10] The Latin word for participle is participium, which makes participio in the dative or the ablative case; but the Latin word for partake is participo, and not "participio."G. BROWN.

If the dative case has the meaning of to, and the ablative has the meaning of from, how can they be expounded, in English, but by suggesting the particle, where it is omitted?

The verb défier governs to-day the accusative and not the dative.
