noun
1. (grammar) In Semitic languages, the “adjective of superiority.†In some languages such as Arabic, the concepts of comparative and superlative degree of an adjective are merged into a single form, the elative. How this form is understood or translated depends upon context and definiteness. In the absence of comparison, the elative conveys the notion of “greatestâ€, “supreme.â€
2. (grammar) In Finno-Ugric languages, one of the locative cases, expressing “out of,†as in Finnish talosta, Hungarian házból (“out of the houseâ€). Its opposite is the illative case (“intoâ€). In Finnish, the case form is used also to express "out of" or "proximity" in a figurative sense which in English is often conveyed by the word "about".
