This is in the nominative case because the verb to be / sagon preserves the nominative case. (This happens in some natural languages too, for example, German.) sagon is seen here as issi (the third person present tense plural / they are ).
Eight cases:
- nominative
- accusative
- genitive
- dative
- locative
- instrumental
- comitative
- vocative
