I don't think so. I did consider running "temporal locative" together into "temporalocative", but that's still too long. It's not so much that "temporal" ends in "-al" instead of "-ive"; I mean, "instrumental" is a well-established case name. It just doesn't feel caseish somehow. Just a subjective thing. It's growing on me, though. Thanks for the suggestions. :) -Marcos
