Sentences with ELATIVE (5)
The upshot of the merit and demerit of human actions rests upon this basis, that nothing is so much in the power of our will as our will itself, and that we have this free-will--this, as it were, two-edged faculty--and this elative power between two counsels which are immediately, as it were, within our reach.
The inessive, elative, and illative are sometimes called the interior cases, because they express existence in and motion from or to the interior of an object.
Besides these uses, which are parallel with those of the inessive, the elative has a variety of other significations.
There is, however, a slight difference in the meaning of the elative and partitive in such expressions, inasmuch as the former always implies a certain part of a given quantity which is in the mind of the speaker.
From denoting the starting-point, the elative is used to express the origin or cause of anything, or the material from which a thing is made.
