Editing Allative case (section)

==Baltic languages==
For the [[Lithuanian language|Lithuanian]] and [[Latvian language]]s, the allative had been used dialectally as an innovation since [[Proto-Indo-Europeans|Proto-Indo-European]], but it is almost out of use in modern times. Its ending in Lithuanian is ''-op'' which was shortened from ''-opi'', whereas its ending in Latvian is ''-up''. For the modern languages the remains of the allative can be found in certain fixed expressions that have become [[adverb]]s, such as Lithuanian ''išėjo Dievop'' ("gone to God", i.e. died), ''velniop!'' ("to the devil" i.e. to hell), ''nuteisti myriop'' ("[[death sentence|sentence to death]]"), ''rudeniop'' ("towards autumn"), ''vakarop'' ("towards the evening"), Latvian ''mājup'' ("towards home"), ''kalnup'' ("uphill"), ''lejup'' ("downhill").{{Citation needed|date=December 2019}}
