“…"where there is a case system, the only case which ever has only zero allomorphs is the one which includes among its meanings that of the subject of the intransitive verb" (Greenberg, 1963) Although Marked-S systems are indeed typologically rare, they are not unheard of: according to Dixon (1994), Marked Nominative systems can be found in the Yuman languages of Southern California, as well as with several languages of the Afroasitic family, mainly Cushitic and Omotic in Eastern Africa, as well as Berber Sasse (1984); Hayward (1990). In addition to these, marked nominative systems have also been reported for several languages of the unrelated Nilotic family (Andersen, 1988;Dimmendaal, 1985;Kiessling, 2007) found in close vicinity to Cushitic and Omotic, making this property qualify as an areal feature.…”

“…Like in Tima, the attentional shift to the non-agent referent is temporary and does not last beyond this clause (Lorenzen In prep. ;Mitchell & Lorenzen 2023a, 2023b; see also Kießling 2007).…”

“…Other marked-S splits on the nominal hierarchy can be found in K'abeena of the Cushitic language family (Crass 2005) and the Nilotic language Datooga (Kiessling 2007). A more detailed discussion of marked-S splits along the nominal hierarchy and their implications for the theoretical analysis of split marking in general can be found in Handschuh (2008Handschuh ( , 2014.…”

“…To account for the special status of the form used for the P relation, this form is not referred to as 'accusative' but as the 'absolute' case -e.g. in Turkana (Dimmendaal 1982) or Datooga (Kiessling 2007). The same terminology of 'Absolute' and 'Nominative' case was also introduced in an early description of the Yuman language Yuma (Halpern 1946: 210), although it did not catch on in the terminology of this genus, as noted above.…”
