Italian term or phrase: (declinazione) bicasuale
While "declinazione" is clear, I don't understand the meaning of "bicasuale" here. The term appears in the following sentence:

"La formazione del plurale dei sostantivi e degli aggettivi friulani รจ legata alla declinazione bicasuale dal friulano antico"

Can anyone help?
