Relation of locative cases

The table below shows better the distinction between various locative cases:

Status of motion Position in space
Interior Surface Between
approaching,
entering,
motion to
Illative
-ishi
Allative
-u
stationary Inessive
-or
Adessive
-ir
Intrative
-ri
departing,
motion from
Elative
-ah
Ablative
-bo

However, while the difference between Illative and Allative cases is usually clear and easy to catch, with other pairs it's often not, so some practice and memorization is needed.
