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 !

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:
