Proximative case

The proximative case is used to describe a meaning similar to that of the English preposition "near to" or "close to".

It is used in the logical language "Gimív".^[1]

An example of its use is “basúnid”, which the creator has given to mean “near a school”, or “home.PROX” for “near to home”.^[1]
