The origins of the western Uralic s-cases revisited: historiographical, functional-typological and Samoyedic perspectives
The paper presents a comprehensive reappraisal of the origins of the so-called s-cases in Saami, Finnic, Mordvin and Mari. According to the received view, the element *-s- that is present in most of the basic local case markers in these languages originates in the so-called *s-lative whose origin ha...
