dativother

Dativother is a term that appears to be a portmanteau of "dative" and "other". In grammatical contexts, the dative case is a grammatical case that marks the recipient of a verb or preposition. The "other" component suggests something or someone that is distinct from the primary subject or object of a sentence.

While "dativother" is not a recognized term in standard linguistic or grammatical terminology, it might be used in informal discussions or specific niche contexts to refer to a secondary recipient or beneficiary of an action. For instance, in a sentence like "She gave the book to him for her," "her" could be considered a "dativother" – a recipient of the ultimate benefit, distinct from the direct recipient "him."

The precise meaning and application of "dativother" would depend entirely on the specific context in which it is employed. Without a standardized definition, its usage is likely to be idiosyncratic and require clarification from the speaker or writer. It is not a term found in academic linguistic literature.
