    old locative case

    i'm trying to draw a short list of words that still use the old locative case, like in:
    v shkafu, na uglu...

    can people help me find the basic words that use it?
    since i discovered this old construction, i'm using it all the time (to boast on my language skills, hehe) but quite often, i do it wrong because i really have no idea what words to employ it with.

    here are the first words i know so far

    shkaf
    ugla
    krai
    my apartment in paris : http://vacation-paris-apartment.com/

    угол - на углу, в углу
    свет (light) - на свету, в свету
    род - на роду (написано), but в роде
    год - в году
    рот - на рту, во рту
    пот - в поту
    бок - в боку, на боку

    there are tens of such words...I dunno
    Я так думаю.

    Exactly! Preciselly!
    simply talking - it's the Truth

    нос - в носу (сопля), на носу (ели черти колбасу)
    Я так думаю.

    На посту, на мосту, на голубом глазу... That's what I can think of off the top of my head.

    пыл - в пылу
    тыл - в тылу
    пол - в пoлу
    чад - в чаду
    пар - в пару, на пару
    бред - в бреду
    сад - в саду
    таз - в тазу


    Many such words are pretty short
    Я так думаю.

    ад - в аду
    зад - в заду
    мир - в мире, в миру (rare form used inclirical terms)
    Я так думаю.

    В снегу?
    на ногу?

    Aren't they all, or most of them stressed on the У?

    This is handy for me since nearly all of these do the same in Ukrainian. I think it shows how far back these examples go, since they they obviously originate before Ukrainian and Russian split.


    Ліс - У/В лєсу
    Ніс - У/В носу
    etc.

    (В and У are interchangeable to aid pronunciation.)
