[Lingtyp] Looking for two terms

[Christian Lehmann]

Dear John,

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. /ferre/ (-> /lative/), as Chris also suggests. Available 
terms include /separative/ and /asportative/. 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. /Extractive/ would also be possible.

Needless to say, a place to look for possible established terms is in 
grammars of Uralic languages.

Best,

Christian
