There are two '''locative cases''', with the endings '''-bi''' and '''-pi''' respectively, both of which [[#Ratio casuum|comes from]] the root '''bwy''', "place". | |||
They are used in the following way: | |||
*as | *as pure locatives | ||
*as | *as [[#Postpositions|postpositionals]] | ||
Like the [[#Instrumental/(a)comitative|instrumental]], the locative features a semantic allophonic variant. Namely the voiced variant '''-bi''' is used for '''inessive''' or '''intrative''' meanings, while the unvoiced version '''-pi''' is used for '''superessive''' or '''adessive''' senses. The meanings, when needed, are complemented by certain [[#Postpositions|postpositions]]. | Like the [[#Instrumental/(a)comitative|instrumental]], the locative features a semantic allophonic variant.
