Noun
  1. 1
    A noun case which covers the nominative and possibly other cases such as vocative and/or accusative (the precise definition depends on the case system in question; the term is used especially in simple systems with two or three cases)

    "19. Cases of Nouns are six: Nominative, Genitive, Dative, Accusative, Vocative, and Ablative. As in the Latin and Greek languages, these cases are derived from the Nominative by certain rules of inflection; the Nominative being the root of all the other cases, is termed the direct case, the others are called oblique cases."
