Help with case names

Hi all,

I'm having some trouble with deciding on names for all Kidjeb/Saslupa
cases.  The problematic ones are marked with a ? in the list below:


    -rma    ablative (from)
    -mpi    adessive (at)
    -su     allative (to)
?   -ra     (amid, among)
?   -sti    benefactive (for)
    -ba     comitative (with)
    -nsu    elative (out)
    -nu     ergative, instrumental (by)
    -mi     genitive (of)
    -ntji   illative (into)
    -ju     inessive (in)
?   -rdi    (outside)
    -spa    partitive (off)
?   -ru     perlative (along)
    -tju    separative (without)
    -bju    subessive (under)
    -rtja   sublative (below)
    -ti     superessive (on)
?   -bu     superlative (over)
    -mpa    translative (through)

The "amid, among" case might perhaps be called _interessive_, but what
about the "outside" case?  The only thing I can come up with is _exessive_,
but this sounds like "excessive"!

TIA,
