I saw Glen's case reconstruction for Nostratic or a later protolanguage but I
forgot what it was like. Pat has an alternative case system for Indo-European
(much of which is tied to his Proto-Language theory). I only have more in-depth
info for IE.

BTW, does anybody know the noun declension system for Akkadian or Proto-Semitic?
