12.1 Cases
Nominative: position, context, no acc./gen. markers
Subject or predicate nominative
Accusative: position, syntactical connections,
Most often the direct object Genitive: syntactical connection with another word, e.g., a
preposition, or two nouns in a row
The Genitive is the defining case: “ of ~ ”

position in the sentence
syntactical relationship of words
Examples of Genitives (n.b. two nouns in a row)
1. ownership/possession
2. source/authorship
3. subjective or objective
4. attributive
5. material
Ross Chapter 12 p. 99
12.2 The Construct Relationship
The genitive follows a word in the construct state(a syntactical relationship)
The vowels of the first word sometimes change (i.e. it is s.t. [re]constructed)
The grammatical case of the first word comes fromits function in the sentence
Ross Chapter 12 p. 99
12.2 The Construct Relationship

He obeyed in the fear of the LORD.
We preach the fear of the LORD.

12.6 Syntax of the Construct-Genitive Chain
1. Word order is fixed2. The construct (1st) word never has the article
The phrase is definite if
a. the final word has the article
b. the final word is a proper noun
c. the final word has a pronoun suffix
Ross Chapter 12 pp. 103-104
2. 1st word indef. / 2nd definite: use preposition
3. An adj. modifying the construct (1st word) comesafter the entire phrase
4. The chain might have 3, 4, rarely 5 nouns
n.b. the construct will have a conjunctive accent, e.g.,
munach mereka mahpak
Ross Chapter 12 pp. 103-104
2. 1st word indef. / 2nd definite: use preposition
3. An adj. modifying the construct (1st word) comesafter the entire phrase
