WHAT DOES PROLATIVE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Prolative case

The prolative case is a grammatical case of a noun or pronoun that has the basic meaning of "by way of". In the Finnish language, the so-called prolative has a highly restricted, almost fossilized meaning "by ". For example, "postitse", "puhelimitse", "meritse", "netitse". The prolative forms are considered by most Finnish grammarians to be adverbs because they do not show agreement on adjectives like the other Finnish cases. The prolative exists in a similar state in the Estonian language. The vialis case in Eskimo–Aleut languages has a similar interpretation, used to express movement using a surface or way. For example, by way of or through the house. Basque grammars frequently list the nortzat / nortako case as "prolative". However, the meaning of this case is unrelated to the one just described above for other languages and alternatively has been called "essive / translative", as it means "for, as "; e.g., hiltzat eman "to give up for dead", lelotzat hartu zuten "they took him for a fool". The meaning "by way of" of the case labelled prolative in the above languages is expressed in Basque by means of the instrumental.
