Nonsense. The locative is a weak case, with stress shifted
one syllable to the right as compared to the nom. and acc.
That is proof positive that it couldn't have been
endingless, and that there was a desinential vowel here.
This vowel also protected -n- from becoming -r. Loc.
*udén(i) comes from *wad-án-a.
