Ergative Case
Why does the ergative case function like a nominative case in intransitive sentences?

What's supposed to happen (if it's an ergative case) is that you should say, "Lou bu ley sa tili" but "Lou sa kula." Or, on the contrary, "Lou bu ley sa tili" could mean "You hit me." and that would make "Lou bu kula" grammatically correct.

I think everything else on that front is good. Did you want the "nounative" and "nominative" cases to be easily distinguishable?
