Talk:Postessive case
Add topic | This article is rated Stub-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale. |
In my mind - ante and post are opposites.
If antessive indicates before an event like ex-ante then postessive should indicate after an event.
If we're searching for a Latin word to mean behind in a spatial sense (as post can do while breaking the expected symmetry) we can use the word retro as in retroessive.
I don't care if this has a semi-established linguistic usage, it is extremely careless and confusing to have used post in this way.
Should we merge this page with "Postelative case"?
[edit]This site was edited anonymously, saying that the definition for the postessive case, as said by the article, is equal to that of the postelative case. I checked out both articles, and their definitions are the same.
Should we merge these two articles? I don't mean to be too pushy. B'zed (talk) 15:36, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
- I have looked at the article that lists grammatical cases, and I have realised that "postelative" is movement from an area, but the article for that case doesn't say it clearly. I will go and correct it. B'zed (talk) 08:13, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
