Russian*

Name a language that has no literally translatable word for "time".

*(I presume that you only mean stops and/or fricatives. I know of no language that devoices e.g. final nasals)

The answer was Somali, and not locative case !

but let it be.
Let us continue the game, I guess I was not too explicit with what I wanted to say.

Polish does have a locative case.

@Mauritz: You're absolutely right. That's what I meant.

Ah, you already answered my question, Josquin. I have overlooked your reply, sorry!

I know another language with a locative case and that is Turkish.

Name a language with the aorist tense.

Greek (as well as other languages of the Balkan Sprachbund)

No offense taken, Fasulye. But noone has answered Mauritz's question yet:
