Ergative case)
The ergative case is used, in ergative-absolutive languages which inflect for case, to mark the subject of a transitive verb.
The absolutive case, in the same context, is used to mark
- the subject of an intransitive verb;
- the object of a transitive verb.
The ergative case is typically marked (most salient), while the absolutive case is unmarked.
