Line 3:
[[Rushani dialect|Rushani]], an [[Iranian languages|Iranian dialect]], has this case in the past tense. That is, in the past tense,<ref>or perhaps [[perfective aspect]]</ref> the agent and object of a transitive verb are marked with the same case ending, while the subject of an intransitive verb is not marked. In the present tense, the object of the transitive verb is marked, the other two roles are not – that is, a typical [[nominative–accusative]] alignment.<ref>J.R.
