Hi DonHolgo, you're right in the sense that the ending by itself does not directly reveal the case. "der" is used in the nominative and accusative, "den" is used in the accusative and dative. But accompanied with the preposition or verb for example it reveals now the right case. We call the endings of the definite articles "case signals" and articles with these case signals have different effects than articles without these "case signals" like: "ein*", "kein*". They don't take the endings of the definite articles. But "einer" or "keiner" does. So the important thing is to understand you will just need only one "case signal" in an article-adjective-noun construction. Roland Meinert wrote about this approach extensively in the 90's.
