| | ACCUSATIVE |
 | | It is believed that the accusative case originally had a "local" function; it was the case that indicated the end or ultimate goal of an action or movement. | | | This "adverbial accusative" is almost always an "internal accusative" -- that is, an accusative object that renames the action of the verb, even when it is not in any way a cognate accusative. | | | 2) it could equally be an extention of the internal accusative: vitam vixit > longam vitam vixit > multos annos vixit. |

| | On the contrary, the accusative forms now stand out as exceptions to what might be seen as a tendency to generalise the a-stem allomorphs. | | | These fall into two groups depending on whether the morpheme-initial *k is realised consistently as w (as with the genitive), or has been lost (as with the accusative). | | | The accusative marks the objects of (di)transitive verbs, and accusative marked beneficiaries can appear with almost any verb. |
