• In the senses "up to" and "all the way to", saa may function as a separate case ending, the terminative, which is appended onto an illative stem, rather than the full illative: If the illative were to be followed by the illative markers -sse or -hV, these markers are dropped. This however varies from speaker to speaker and is not written in the literary language.
