Raminta is in Moscow this week as a guest of the Lithuanian Embassy digging into the Russian archives for her new book.  Too bad Jack is stuck at home painting the house.  The one thing you need to take from this episode is that the nominative or naming case is called, "vardininkas" in Lithuanian.

declension = case
there are seven declensions in Lithuanian
naming case = nominative case
vardininkas is the basic, primary name of all words
vardininkas is the case used in dictionaries
examples of vardininkas:

nominative case                              vardininkas
automobile                                      automobilis
rytas                                              morning
diena                                              day
vakaras                                          evening
Vilnius
