Serbo-Croatian cases

Djordje Kostic', of the Institute of Phonetics in Belgrade, did extensive
statistical counts in the 1960s-1970s. I recall one of his publications
is called Operativna gramatika srpskohrvatskog jezika, and another is called
The Vocabulary of Marko Miljanov with Frequencies of Occurrence by
Grammatical Form. (Your library may
write his name Dorde; both D's are in fact the D with a horizontal line
through it.)
