HH: You may be saying that such categories do not, strictly speaking, have objective reality; there is no particular marker for them, perhaps, beyond the complexities of context. I'm aware of that, but it is still the case that there are repeated ways in which the genitive, accusative, and nominative are used in Hebrew that it is good for one to know. That is what the "species of genitive" really signifies. Now the number of categories derived, and their particular nature, can vary in validity, but I would not want to leave the student without an acquaintance with such nuanced delineations of usage.
