Hi! ^^

🙊 I try my best to be a better person than I was yesterday. If I have wronged you or anyone else in any way, please tell me so (although it is not your job, of course), in case I’m unaware of that. Μὴ κρίνετε ἵνα μὴ κριθῆτε 🙂

serlwch, to linguistics

has many cases. Two of them are:

• The elative case (elatiivi), denoting ‘internal location + from’; e.g. talosta ‘out of a house’.
• The illative case (illatiivi), denoting ‘internal location + to’; e.g. taloon ‘into a house’.

Now, let me understand something (and correct me if I’m wrong)… Even though they mean basically the opposite of each other, their names are pronounced the same in English (/ɪˈleɪtɪv/) 🙃

My source was Wiktionary, which lists both illative and elative as /ɪˈleɪtɪv/ in UK pronunciation. Perhaps there’s dialectal variation within the UK with this regard. The Wiktionarian who added the pronunciation information for both is I'm so meta even this acronym, who is a native speaker of Welsh and English (see here and here).
