7.27.2 Second case (accusative)
c27.s30.t2.1
There is only one occurrence of the accusative, which has *-a* as the case-suffix:
c27.s30.t2.2
*itta* 'this' (in accusative case) 13.3
Cf. LT *itai* / *ittai* < *itu* / *iḫtu* 'this one'
*-ai* is the accusative suffix in LT, though *-a* is also mentioned as such in *Tol.* (*Col.* 109-110). See Commentary for discussion.
