Lative case in Hebrew
[edit]While Hebrew usually is not considered to have cases (see [1]), it actually has a lative case which was very productive in ancient Hebrew, and today is mostly used in specific idiomatic examples. The lative case is formed by adding the consonant he (with mapiq), i.e., הּ at the of the word. So דרום means south, and "דרומהּ" means "to (the) south"; שאול means hell, and שאולהּ "to hell", הבית means "the house" so הביתהּ means "to the house". Nyh (talk) 16:02, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
Lative and illative
[edit]What is the difference between lative and illative?--Ed1974LT (talk) 18:00, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
- The article should better explain the difference between the lative and the allative as well. For example, according to the article in Finnish it had a different ending from the present allative, but the meaning of the allative seems to be the same? I can see the difference between the allative and the illative though. Was the lative a superset of these? Or did the ending just change? The article leaves to many questions unanswered, it should compare and contrast the various cases so it becomes clear.
