    • 2018, Aaron D. Rubin, Studies in Semitic Grammaticalization, page 114:
      The motivation in Slavic is thought partly to be a desire for disambiguity. That is to say, once the nominative and accusative endings have become identical, and due to the free word order of Slavic, a need was felt to differentiate between 'Jack sees Jill' and 'Jill sees Jack'.
