K00'i! What coincidence... you asked just the right person here :-)
My conlang uses vowel shifting to show case. (It also use consonant shifts
to show gender, but I won't get into that here.) Here's an example:
juli'r "house", "dwelling place"
Originative: jul0'r [julAr] "from the house", "out of the house"
Receptive: jolu'r [jolur] "to/into the house"
Instrumental: jula'r [jular] "by means of the house"
Conveyant: jwl3'r [ju"lV"r] "the house (in motion)"
Locative: juli'r [julir] "in the house", "about the house"
(Pronunciation given in Kirsch IPA transcription.)
