Other objective functions, including dative functions are achieved with prepositions, all of which normally take the nominative case. The partitive arose from the merger of the declensions of *-ŏ and *-ŭ stem nouns in Old East Slavic, which left the former *-ŭ stem genitive suffix available for a specialized use. A closer look at the Dutch data reveals that in denoting relativation and extraction relationships, non-partitives (or weak indirect partitive construction in Vos’s terminology) function as an adjectival modifier as opposed to ordinary partitives (strong indirect partitive construction) carrying a determiner-like element.
In English, the corresponding function is expressed by the preposition without or by the suffix -less. In some cases, the use of the partitive coincides with the plural form in other languages, but it’s not the same as the plural.
