“ Fat mana; the man's father or the father of the man. The kimafal is sometimes called the genitiv.3. The kimefal, or to-whom-case, ends in e and answers the question "to whom ?" It is usually translated by to with the objectiv; but frequently we omit the to ; thus we say "I gave an apple to the boy," or "I gave the boy an apple." "Boy " would be in the kimefal as expressing the indirect object of the action. The kimefal is sometimes called the dativ case.4. The kimifal, or whom-case, ends in i, answers to the question "Whom ?" ”
