te
te
te
This preposition used to govern the dative case. It also fused with the dative forms of the definite article:
Combinations with the nominative form of the article, like *te het or *te de have never become part of the language. The collapse of the inflection system and the related demise of the distinction between masculine and feminine gender (for most speakers) has pushed this preposition into partial disuse. It does however occur in a fair number of idiomatic expressions, often with fossilized case endings, e.g.:
(Elfder, ure and bate are dative forms of elfde, uur and baat respectively.)
From Proto-Finnic *tek.
