No, I capture the relationship between them by the abstract relationship called
case, which operates in only five scripts (in the Unicode sense of "script",
not in the sense in which it is a cover term for "alphabet", "abjad", "abugida",
etc.).

[P]olice in many lands are now complaining that local arrestees are insisting
on having their Miranda rights read to them, just like perps in American TV
cop shows. When it's explained to them that they are in a different country,
where those rights do not exist, they become outraged. --Neal Stephenson
