Highly enjoyable essay! Five years ago, I naively tackled Russian not knowing the first thing about cases and having never even heard of a “case system” before. Oh my. Took a solid 6 months to wrap my head around the concept. Having now mastered it, the case system is one of my favorite features of Russian. And I feel as if English is somewhat impoverished by its almost total disappearance. Ah well, the horse left that particular barn a long, long time ago and isn’t coming back!
