Hm, I'll bow to almost anyone regarding knowledge of Latin, since most of
my knowledge is from a single concise grammar which I borrowed from the
library 10 years ago :-)

I was under the impression that, with the exception of a few archaic
forms, the locative as you describe it is equal to the ablative.  If not,
how is it formed?
