Odd as it might be, the sublative refers to "motion to on top of sg".

And the excessive does exist as a case in Votian and Madzhi (probably
others too...) An example of its meaning:
ta:ma: on jo tulo~nnu koosse soldatind.
3sg is already arrived home-ALLATIVE soldier-EXCESSIVE
He has already returned home from being a soldier. (Meaning, he isn't a
soldier anymore).
It works the same way in Madzhi.
