The usual labels for local are cases built on the model of the Latin ''ablātīvus'' 'ablative' which is made up of the preposition ''ab'' 'from' plus a stem ''{{IPA|lātīvus}}'' the root of which is ''{{IPA|lāt}}'', which is used for the perfect participle of ''{{IPA|ferō}}'' 'I bear'. Other labels are formed by varying the preposition or by combining prepositions with the stem essīvus from ''esse'' 'to be'.
