Nominative or Ablative?

1. contra + accusative=> contra lignam

Because I had reason to believe, from the book, that “timber” was used as meaning “woods,” I chose the accusative plural.

Mea culpa! Falsus eram… I did not remember correctly the gender, so I thought it is feminine singular

2. Here also Americanis is DATIVE.

Thank you very much. I was unaware of such dative usages.

Now, have you thought further about the first sentence in this thread?

I believe you need the NOMINATIVE, but I am not quite certain about it…
