Intrative case

The intrative case is a case that roughly expresses the notion of the English preposition "amidst".

It is found in the Limbu language, where it occurs with the locative suffix "-ʔō". When conjoined, the two morphemes are pronounced as "-lummō".

* "anchi" is the first person dual inclusive pronoun, thus "you and me".
