Editing Nominative case (section)

==Etymology==
The English word ''nominative'' comes from [[Latin]] ''cāsus nominātīvus'' "case for naming",<ref>{{L&S|nominativus|ref}}</ref> which was translated from [[Ancient Greek]] ὀνομαστικὴ πτῶσις, ''onomastikḗ ptôsis'' "inflection for naming",<ref>{{LSJ|o)nomastiko/s|ὀνομαστικός|ref}}</ref> from ''onomázō'' "call by name",<ref>{{LSJ|o)noma/zw|ὀνομάζω}}</ref> from ''ónoma'' "name".<ref>{{LSJ|o/noma|ὄνομα}}</ref> [[Dionysius Thrax]] in his [[The Art of Grammar]] refers to it as ''orthē&#769;'' or ''eutheîa'' "straight",<ref>Dionysius Thrax.
