	Ablative case - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Latin ablative combines the functions of the Indo-European ablative (indicating "from"), instrumental (indicating "with" or "by"), and locative (indicating "in") cases, which merged together in the development of Latin.
		From these original meanings several others developed, including the ablative of cause (indicating "caused by"), the ablative of time and means (indicating "at the time of", deriving from the locative), and the ablative absolute.
		In Finnish, the ablative case is the sixth of the locative cases with the meaning "from off of", e.g.

		Caesare duce: Similarly, this kind of ablative absolute may be analyzed as a temporal ablative (that is, a metaphorical extension of the locative case) or as an associative-instrumental ablative (for instance, in the sense of "with Caesar being the leader").
		Degree of Difference: The Ablative of Degree of difference is a development of the ablative of means: the amount of the difference being considered the means by which something is different.
		The Ablative of Respect seems to have had a composite origin or was influenced at least by two different case-functions: the locative function and the instrumental function.

		Ablative performance involving rapid char induction and lasting char stability is attained in the coating of this invention through the use of fibers in conjunction with a mixture of glass-forming inorganics which also meet the requirement of providing a Lewis acid.
		The effectiveness of these cured compositions as ablative coatings in the erosive environment of the test used was determined by measuring the total volume of coating removed and observing the erosion profile of the cross-sectioned substrate.

	Chapter 24
		Note that the "absolute" part of the ablative absolute means that the construction is grammatically "removed" from the main sentence.
		In other words, the subject of the ablative absolute should not be a constituent of the main sentence, in theory—there are, however, many exceptions in Latin—and if the noun in the ablative absolute is used elsewhere in the sentence, the participle should be attached to the noun there, making an ablative absolute unnecessary.
		Since no dative form will ever be the object of a free-standing preposition, there can be no distinction in the passive periphrastic between personal and impersonal agent, in the same way that the presence or absence of the preposition ab distinguishes agents in other passive constructions.

	Ablative Armour (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Ablative armour was originally developed for the USS Defiant; the Borg had proven their ability to penetrate Federation shields with ease during their encounter with the Enterprise at system J-25, and the Defiant designers wanted the ship to have a degree of protection even if the shields should be overcome in the expected future encounters.
		Like the Borg, the Dominion were able to penetrate Federation shielding systems relatively easily in the first years of hostility between the two powers, and the Defiant's ablative armour allowed the ship to withstand attacks that would have otherwise caused significant damage.
		This device was given to the crew of the USS Voyager by a future version of Admiral Janeway, who travelled back in time to the ship in order to assist them in returning home from the Delta Quadrant.

		The ablative absolute is the Rolls-Royce of Latin constructions: it's elegant, it's powerful, it's classy, and it's not really English.
		It's so called because it sticks in the ablative any words that are absolutely detached from the rest of the sentence.
		Contrary to what the book says, the ablative absolute is consistently translatable, though it won't always sound very idiomatic in English: you can (nearly) always just translate it as an ordinary ablative with "with" (as opposed to "by", "from", and "in").
