Talk:Postessive case

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In my mind - ante and post are opposites.

If antessive indicates before an event like ex-ante then postessive should indicate after an event.

If we're searching for a Latin word to mean behind in a spatial sense (as post can do while breaking the expected symmetry) we can use the word retro as in retroessive.

I don't care if this has a semi-established linguistic usage, it is extremely careless and confusing to have used post in this way.
