  ablative case
     alt.
     (lb en grammar) A noun case used in some languages to indicate
  movement '''away from''' something, removal, separation. In English
  grammar, it corresponds roughly to the use in English of prepositions
  "of", "from", "away from", and
  "concerning". In Latin grammar, the ablative case (cāsus
  ablātīvus) includes functions derived from the Indo-European
  ''ablative'', ''instrumental'', ''comitative'', ''associative'' and
  ''locative'' cases; these cases express concepts similar to those of the
  English prepositions ''"of"/"from"'',
  ''"by"'', ''"with"'',
  ''"to"/"with"'', and
  ''"at"/"in"'', respectively. ''Here/hence/hither'',
  ''there/thence/thither'', and ''where/whence/whither'' are the only
  English words with separate forms for the ablative (motion ''away''
  from) and lative (motion ''towards'') cases.
