Latin help please: case uses?
if you have a spatium temporis, a space of time, is temporis a partitive genitive?
the larger construction is parvo intermisso temporis spatio
an ablative absolute meaning "with a small interrupted space of time" or something like that.
what case use is temporis?
p.s. please don't tell me it's genitive.

OK - I have to do it - it's genitive.
In addition to 'space', 'spatium' also translates as 'gap, interval'.
It's not partitive - it's the plain,old genitive, one noun used to define/limit another.
