 Finnish Grammar - Allative   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The allative ending is -lle both in the singular and in the plural.
The allative singular is formed using the genitive stem and the allative plural using the plural stem.
The allative ending is added directly to these stems.

Further examples of allative forms implying "on, upon" are found in the Markirya poem; we have atalantiandeuml; mindoninnar (or, mindonnar) "upon fallen towers" and axor ilcalannar "on bones gleaming".
However, the student should also notice that while the allative and ablative cases may not always imply physical motion to or from something, their basic meanings of "to, towards" and "from" may also be strengthened.
In this respect, the allative and ablative cases differ from the genitive case: A noun that forms its nominative plural in -i always receives this ending before the genitive plural ending -on is added – the genitive plural of lassandeuml; being lassion, not **lassandeuml;on.

 the -s case
Indeed according to one division of cases which combines coherency (that is spatial connexion) and orientation (direction of movement), the allative and dative belong to the same class: negative coherency with positive orientation (it means routing to something/one or activity for something/one).
The ending -d seems to be the oldest allative suffix; the preposition mir may contain it as well (besides mir there is also minna of the same meaning).
The role of the case that I call 'respective' may relate to Locative as Dative relates to Allative: when a noun A is Allative, something goes to(wards) A, and when A is Dative, some object or action or favour 'goes to' A semi-literally or figuratively.

Allative can be glossed as ‘to, towards’ and ablative, the most marked of the three, can be glossed as ‘from.’
Allative and purposive both mark a noun phrase that connotes the end point of something – the end of physical movement in allative, which marks the physical location being traveled to, and the end of an effort in purposive, which marks result being tried for.
Ablative and causal both mark a noun phrase that connotes the start point of something – the start point of physical movement in ablative, which marks the physical location being traveled from, and the beginning of an effort (whether voliltional or not) in causal, which marks the cause of a state.

In (1a) the regular allative case marker is followed by the proprietive case, the modal case appropriate for potential mood.
In (1b), on the other hand, the verbal allative case is used, and is followed instead by the verbal inflection agreeing with the TAM of the verb.
The use of the verbal allative here implies that the subject doesn’t intend to reach the specified location, whereas the regular allative simply specifies the direction of motion.

Or, better still, perhaps he realized that none of the attendees were coming from the region of Pylos.
Hand 1 has taken up a great deal of room to write "mu-ke-no-ro-ko," as well as for "te-ka-sa." Almost out of room on this line, he has to squeeze in the participle, "i-jo-te." After this has been written, he realizes that he has skipped the allative suffix and he inserts it over the last word.
This provides a very interesting parallel to the first Linear B tablet to be discovered in Texas (which will be featured shortly on the new PASP website), in which the scribe (which appears to be Hand 1) has also left off the allative suffix.

These are cases which indicate location and movement, and can be further divided between those cases which describe inner relations -- inessive, elative, and illative -- and those which describe outer relations -- adessive, ablative, and allative.
These include cases which refer to the qualities of the nominal itself, and include nominative, genitive, accusative, partitive, essive, translative, and a few others.

This case is called "allative" by grammarians, and is the opposite of the 'ablative'.
It is very important to note the case that a preposition takes, especially because a few ON prepositions may take either accusative or dative, with different meanings according to which case follows.
These are cases of prepositions with either locative or allative meanings; compare English "in", locative, which would take dative in ON, to "into", allative, which would take accusative.
