Google search for "juxtapositive case" (exact phrase)
gets only one hit:

http://www.uoregon.edu/~delancey/bib/gatcon.html

The table of contents for a grammar of Klamath.
Apparently this case ends in -tana in that language,
but the TOC is not specific about its function.
I am guessing it is a locative case corresponding
to a prepositional phrase like "right next to"
in English.
