Whenever the indirect object is of a temp>oral import, referring to time 

 or sections of time, it is frequently expressed by a noun standing in the 

 objective case, as in the following instances : 



kndwa pshin, or kndwa ndnuk psin to put out the fishing-line for the night. 

 Cf. 54, 6, and Note to 83, 3.

2. The locative case in -tat, abbr. -ta, -at, may express the indirect 

 object whenever this contains a locative comi)lement to the verb of the sen- 

 tence and is expressed in English by prepositions like in, into, at, on, upon, 

 through, towards, from, oid from, oid of. The ending is often dropped, 

 especially when the noun is attributively connected with an adjective, but 

 sometimes, also, when the object noun stands for itself, as in kaila, tchpinu 

 below, and then may be easily confounded with the objective case.
