 In the first table of cases above, the cases shown are ordered according to an animacy and temporal/causal hierarchy: the first case listed represents the most animate participant, or the one triggering or exercicing the most control over the event described by the predicate, or occasionally, in the case of stative relations, it may be the largest or most concrete participant. Abstract propositions, properties and relations have lowest rank in this hierarchy, and will typically be associated with the last cases of each case list.  
 
 Below are some examples of internal and external case uses with monovalent roots and stems (`-lı̋`, “asleep”; `-kóyu`, “dog”, `-cʰakóyu`, “the dog”):

 The root ⟪-lı̋⟫, meaning ⟪[NTR] is asleep⟫, is monovalent, and therefore governs only one noun case, the Intransitive case (`NTR`), with consonantal outer case form ⟪t-⟫, and vocalic inner case form ⟪-a-⟫.  
 In the first example above, “it” is expressed as the pronominal extensional prefix ⟪-θ◈-⟫ sporting the inner case vowel ⟪a⟫, indicating that it is the sole argument of the verb “sleep”. “It is asleep” can therefore be expressed as a single word.  
 In the second example, with the exact same meaning as the first, “it” is expressed as a separate word (with the dummy root ⟪-yá⟫), sporting the consonantal outer case ⟪t-⟫, again expressing the Intransitive case.

 When a verb governs two or more nouns, their relative order of appearance has no significance on the utterance's meaning, it has no effect on information structure (topicality, focus…); the default order is the same as the one presented in the cases table above, following the hierarchy Ergative → Dative → Codative → Accusative. However their order can be freely changed to the convenience of the speaker, for example for moving a heavy complement, such as a subordinate clause, to the right edge of the clause for avoiding center embedding.  
 
 Below is an explanation of the functions of the other core cases mentioned in the second table above.  
 
-• The Extensional Case, or ‘Affixal Case’, is governed by certain extensional prefixes, which intoduce a new participant to the relationship expressed by the verb. For example, a causative extensional prefix will add a ‘causer’ participant, which will then be accessible via the Extensional Case.

 • The Pendent Case introduces a noun phrase without stating any relation between it and the current clause, and binds it to the Pendent pronoun (whose extensional form is ⟪-ƛ◈-⟫, with ⟪◈⟫ representing an Inner Case vowel). This allows the introduced noun phrase (now bound to the pendent pronoun) to be used latter, possibly in a subordinate clause not yet opened. This is especially useful for expressing quantification binding a variable that is not used in the same clause as the one in which the quantifier appears, but rather in a more deeply nested clause:
