Isn't "to the beach" and "with them" ordinary prepositional phrases =
(PP)?
I'd express them using eg. allative and comitative cases.

So basically, jurative is a way to make the language more exotic/cooler=20
with special verbs which take three objects, instead of using PPs?
That's really neat! Though, can you use jurative with any verb and
still understand the meaning of it? Thus using jurative as a universal
case/PP if there is only one more NP than S, direct OBJ and indirect
OBJ?
Example: I gave a record to my sister in my appartment.
I.SUBJ gave record.DIR my_sister.INDIR my_appartment.JUR
