Case

There are two oppositions in case relevant for pronouns: nominative vs. oblique for personal pronouns and ordinary vs. genitive for most other subcategories. The value ordinary comprises in principle nominative and oblique. (The possessive pronouns could be regarded as the genitives of the personal pronouns, which would complete the case system, but that would be contrary to grammatical tradition.)
