<p>Many thanks to all who responded to my query on the two case names on and offline. I will go with <em>elative</em> and <em>selective</em>.</p>
<p>I think part of the reason I originally rejected the term <em>elative</em> is that I was looking for parallel names for the two cases, but that does not seem feasible here. I especially liked Chris Lasse's suggestion of <em>selective </em>which seems to go back to Beáta Wagner-Nagy's grammar (2019) of Nganasan where it marks a unit which is selected out of a set of two. Both differ of course what the markers I am describing - I don't know of other languages in which the elative can only be used attributively, and Wagner-Nagy's selective is not a case marker and only for sets of two, but these two will serve their purpose fine!</p>
<p>Many thanks once again!<br />John</p>

<p>Dear John,</p>
<p>I concur with Chris that a traditionally established term for case #2 is elative and that it is more difficult to find a term for #1. The structural problem in finding or coining a latinate term is probably that it is all but excluded to combine two Latin prepositions at the start of one such term. One way out is to base the term on a different verb than Lat. <em>ferre</em> (-> <em>lative</em>), as Chris also suggests. Available terms include <em>separative</em> and <em>asportative</em>. Neither of these fits exactly the function that you describe, unless the inessive + genitive turns out to also indicate a separating movement or one of carrying a thing away. <em>Extractive</em> would also be possible.</p>
<p>Needless to say, a place to look for possible established terms is in grammars of Uralic languages.</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>Christian</p>
