Hmm, my conlang has a similar case called the "conveyant" (though the name
sounds kinda contrived). It's also used for anything that is in motion,
though it also includes transmitted information.
How is the "lative" case used in your conlang? Is it a secondary case? In
my conlang, it is a primary case.
