is the first-person plural, and it is short work: nominative and accusative are both , dative and ablative are both . The genitive splits in two, and the split matters. nostri is the objective genitive, "of us" as the object of a feeling (memor nostri, mindful of us); is the partitive one, "of us" out of a group ( , one of us).

With the ablative takes the preposition as a suffix: nobiscum, never , exactly as with and tecum. And since the verb ending already says "we", a nominative is there for emphasis or contrast rather than information.
