It's the same with Kijeb, for which I'm developing
a fairly extensive set of local case endings.
(as in every once in a month a new idea for deriving
a case ending pops up in my head! :-) I will probably
not create cases for all slots in the monster table
(i.e. the large one) I created at FrathWiki though.

<http://wiki.frath.net/Labels_for_local_cases>

BTW any additions/suggestions for (Latinate) labels
for slots in that table are most welcome!

I guess that not all reflexes of such 'adpositions'
will survive into or be analysable in Sohlob, so
that their Sohlob reflexes will be more of true
adpositions.
