I guess you meant the case used for non-intrinsic arguments of the verb.

The French wiktionary calls "moi" "pronom tonique de la première
personne". It seems a bit odd that in Lojban most of the definition of
French "je" is concerned with the different uses of "me" and "moi"
rather than with "je" itself. I don't think "gasnu" is all that good
for "nominative" or "subject case". In lots of cases the subject is
not an agent, and agents are not always the subject. I think something
like fa-case or first-argument-case might be better for "je". For
"pronom tonique", maybe "basna sumyma'o"?
