Ornative case
In linguistics, the ornative case is a noun case that means "endowed with" or "supplied with".
This case is found in Dumi, which marks it by the suffix -mi.[1]
In Hungarian, the case is marked with the suffix -s. For example, "ajtó" ("door"), as in "zöld ajtós ház" ("a house with a green door"); "hálószoba" ("bedroom"), as in "2 hálószobás lakás" ("apartment with 2 bedrooms").
In Swahili, -enye is the ornative case particle. It takes a prefix dependent on the noun class of the head (preceding) noun and is followed by another noun, in expressions such as nyumba yenye chumba kimoja meaning "a house having one room".[2]
