The intrative case (abbreviated ITRT) 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 -ʼō. When conjoined, the two morphemes are pronounced as -lummō.
anchi-lum-ʼō mi nɛ̄ we*-ITRT-LOC fire be.situated "There is a fire between us two."
* anchi is the first person dual inclusive pronoun, thus "you and me".
