Nominative or Accusative

[anheropl0x]

I knew there was a specific word for this (copula), but I'd have to dig through a couple Latin books to find it. I did not know that there were that many Copula in Gothic. My mother tongue is German, but German doesn't really have any changes in nouns from Nom. to Akk.

Not only "to be" is a copula, even "to become", "to keep being", "to stay something" and "to seem as" are copulas and are those kinds of verbs where both arguments are in the nominative case. What is your mother language? For English speakers this might be hard, because there is hardly no case opposition, but for Germans or other case languages that might be easier, as they do it intuitively.
