<Aha! That's "Prepositional". If you mean that the case
in itself doesn't indicate the "on", but you have to
have a preposition (or postposition for that matter) and
then a case to indicate that the preposition belongs to
that word.>

Many languages use the genitive to cover the prepositional. Latin
sometimes does this and sometimes uses the ablative.
