I'm not sure the concept of case is completely relevant here, either.  While
X-Daq and X-mo' mean two different things, grammatically they are treated in
exactly the same way: they are USUALLY (but not necessarily)
non-subject-non-objects.  (I say "usually" because we know that with certain
"verbs of motion," the object of the verb can be a locative noun.)

Klingon would appear to have three noun cases: subject, object, and
"anything else."  If it's not a subject or object, it's "anything else."
We've been calling this a "header."  (Although nouns in the header seem to
be able to mix freely with adverbials too, so it's a strange sort of soup.)
