Talk:Postessive case
 | 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"?
editThis 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)
