===Indo-European languages=== ====Latvian==== In Latvian, both instrumental and comitative are expressed with the preposition {{lang|lv|ar}}<ref name=Stolz2006 />{{rp|102}} However, it is used only when the companion is in accusative and singular or when it is in dative and plural. Otherwise the co-ordinating conjunction {{lang|lv|un}} is used.<ref name=Stolz2006 />{{rp|21}} {{interlinear|indent=3|lang=lv |un Nelda ar Rudolfu ļoti nozīmīgi pa-skatījās uz Ernestīni |and Nelda.NOM COM Rudolf.ACC very significantly at-look.PRET.REFL.3 on Ernestine.ACC |'And Nelda and Rudolf looked very knowingly at Ernestine.'<ref name=Stolz2006 />{{rp|21}}}} In the example above, {{lang|lv|ar}} is used because Rudolf, the companion, is in accusative and singular. Below, it is used in the other case that it is allowed, with a dative plural companion. {{interlinear|indent=3|lang=lv |jo ne-bija ne-kāda prieka dzīvot zem sveša jumta un vēl ar vis-iem zirg-iem un rat-iem |because NEG-be.PAST.3 NEG-some.GEN fun.GEN live.INF under foreign.GEN roof.GEN and still COM all-DAT.PL horse-DAT.PL and cart-DAT.PL |'Because it was no fun to live under someone else's roof, especially with all the horses and the cart'.<ref name=Stolz2006 />{{rp|307}}}}
