As a further similar case, consider next the complementation of verbs which normally require their complement to appear in the genitive.
If the nominalization's verb is neither intransitive nor is the nominalization passive, then the genitive could correspond to either the subject or object.
The to-infinitive was not nominal because it assigned accusative (never genitive) case to its complements (250).
Most significant is the fact that, as with the dative and genitive constructions, these nominative objects appear (discourse-neutrally) only in preverbal position.
If the subject refers to an inanimate entity affecting a human direct object, the genitive is obligatory for the direct object.
From this perspective, the use of the genitive marker is unusually high in this particular text.
Table 5 displays how thematicity of the possessor dovetails with genitive variation.
Even more surprising is the fact acquisition of the genitive singular is virtually errorless.
