====Telic====
:For more info see [[#Telicity|telicity]] and [[#Voice|voice]].
The telic case has the ending '''-nkX''' or '''-nXk''', which [[#Ratio casuum|comes from]] the root '''nkw''', "destination".
It is used in the following ways:
*As the subject of an active transitive verb used in the sense of completed action
*As the subject of a middle transitive verb in which the subject or subjects are the patient of the action, even if they are also the agent(s)
*As a reached destination with verbs of motion, or the intended goal of a verb of motion.
====Locatives====
====Locatives====
The ending for the locative is '''-bi''', but, like  the [[#Instrumental/comitative|instrumental]], the locative features a semantic allophonic variant. Namely the unvoiced version '''-pi''' carries the basic semantic of '''on''' or '''at''', while the voiced variant '''-bi''' has the semantic '''in''' or '''between'''. The meanings, when needed, are complimented by certain [[#Postpositions|postpositions]].
