-Version 1.1 offered an upgrade: state analysis. In Semitic languages, a "state" marks the relation between two nouns. Arabic only has two such states, but Akkadian has three. If a noun is marked distinctly with a suffix for case, it is in the governed state, which is reserved for an argument of a verbal sentence (there are nominal sentences where a subject and predicate are put together without a verb, so the relation between them is nominal, so states are used). The absolute state in Akkadian is mostly only used to mark predicates in nominal sentences, while the construct state (present in Arabic and Hebrew) marks possession where the possessed noun is in the construct state, and the possessor is in the governed state with the genitive ending.

 The absolute and construct state are only differentiated morphosyntactically, as both are zero-marked and have no suffixes (except gender and number), and so require surrounding context to be properly disambiguated. Which leads me to:
