The aim of this paper is to show that what is considered in Polish as one heterogeneous LOCATIVE case in the "formal" approach only on the surface seems rather complex and appears to lack any natural order. Due to the limited size of the paper, focus will be laid only on one locative case, the ADESSIVE, representing the static external locative, expressing different aspects of a relationship outside an entity and describing the "location ‘on top of’ or ‘near’, ‘owner’ or ‘instrument’ by means of which an action is performed" (Karlsson 1999: 115). It has no single linguistic equivalent in Polish; instead it is represented by several prepositions, such as na + LOC ‘on’, przy + LOC ‘by’ and u + GEN ‘at’, etc., reflecting different aspects of proximity and coincidence in space. Taking just the case of the ADESSIVE relation, data observations based on the IPI PAN Corpus of Polish allow us to claim that although each preposition is responsible for a different aspect of the external spatial relation, they complement one another and are related in a family resemblance fashion, expressing an adessive relation.

In this paper the Old Lithuanian local cases of secondary origin (namely the inessive, the adessive, the illative and the allative) are compared with the Etruscan locative constructions derived from the locative or the different cases by means of some postpositions. The similarity of both the derivational features and the grammatical functions allows to give the exact definitions for the Etruscan constructions in question, which may be treated alternatively as the “secondary local cases”: the inessive (in -θi), the illative (in -te, tei, -ti), the destinative (in -ri), the allative (in -pi) and the adessive (in -tra). The suggested names of these cases are taken from the terminology used in Ugro-Fennic linguistics.
