Re: Case Terminology Question

From: "Josh Brandt-Young" <vionau@...>

| Noun Cases:

[...]

| 20.) Rexessive: right of the hand
| 21.) Rexlative: by [right side] the hand
| 22.) Linksessive: left of the hand
| 23.) Linkslative: by [left side] the hand

I have the terms "dextressive", "dextralative", "sinistressive" and
"sinisterlative" in mind.

| 27.) Delative: off of the hand

I saw the term "delative" once in a description of cases, it was defined as
"down (from) the hand".

| 31.) Suplative: over the hand

"Superlative"? Or is that too confusing with the superlative form, as in "Xest"
and "most X".

| 38.) Becausative: because of the hand

LOL! I was thinking just "causative", but you have to specify "case" or you got
a verb form.

| 42.) Adverbial/Exhortative: hand-ly, or go hand!

Or "handwise". Georgian has the adverbial case, usually marked with -ad. This
should be split into two cases though.

| 55.) Superlative: the handest of all

I'm thinking "the most handlike of all".

Anyway, good work! I wish I could find a list of the alleged 48 or 52 cases of
Tabassaran.
