Editing Ablative case (section)

===German===
[[German language|German]] does not have an ablative case but, exceptionally, Latin ablative case-forms were used from the seventeenth to the nineteenth century after some [[preposition and postposition|prepositions]], for example after {{lang|de|von}} in {{lang|de|von dem Nomine}}: ablative of the Latin loanword {{lang|la|nomen}}. Grammarians at that time, [[Justus Georg Schottel]], [[Kaspar von Stieler]], Johann Balthasar von Antesperg and [[Johann Christoph Gottsched]], listed an ablative case (as the sixth case after nominative, genitive, dative, accusative and vocative) for German words. They arbitrarily considered the dative case after some prepositions to be an ablative, as in {{lang|de|von dem Mann[e]}} {{gloss|from the man, of the man}} and {{lang|de|mit dem Mann[e]}} {{gloss|with the man}}, while they considered the dative case after other prepositions or without a preposition, as in {{lang|de|dem Mann[e]}}, to be a dative.
