<div> </div>
</div>
<div>Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
I was told occasionally that there is a local relation - let's call it retrolative - consisting of a movement to reference point R and back to the point of departure. In the languages that have it in their grammar, it would be in a paradigm with ablative, allative,
perlative. Unless I am mistaken, English only has it embodied in the meaning of <i>
fetch</i>, and likewise in German <i>holen</i>.<br>
<ol>
<li>Is retrolative the right term, or is the relation known under a different term?</li><li>Please give me a representative example of the type 'Jane went to R round-trip' or 'Jane fetched the axe from the shed' using a retrolative case or adposition or a retrolative formative in some other structural category.</li></ol>
Thanks in advance,<br>
Christian<br>
