This system is similar to that of Estonian, and can be reconstructed to the Proto-Finnic locative system. It is immediately noticeable from the table that the "exiting" forms ("sta/lta/nta") have the same consonant as the "residing" forms ("ssa/lla/na") added with the Finnish partitive case ending "-ta".
