Terminative Case in Mongolian
(53rd Annual Meeting of the PIAC, St. Petersburg 2010)
Three examples of terminative case ending have been known in Middle Mongolian; one in the Muqaddimat al-Adab and two in the Secret History of the Mongols.
This paper shows that the form in the Muqaddimat al-Adab was created by misreading of the text, and discusses if the forms in the Secret History of the Mongols can really be terminative.
