Re: Help with case names

So all these things I've been thinking of as
"postpositional suffixes" are really kinds of cases?
I have to really think through some things, then,
because then I might end up with a lot of cases.  But
then I make some distinctions; eg I mark "to the
store" differently from "towards the store" (I've
considered only the latter as allative).  so I need
this help, too.

Thanks!
