From the Paper:

"The ablative case marks the movement or motion about something. It also indicates the agent in passive sentences or the instrument or manner or place of the action described by the verb. In the prepositional case, ablative refers to the means by which an action was carried out. However, this semantic value includes various types which are usually the equivalent of other cases that I will discuss later, such as the ablative accompaniment, the ablative manner, the ablative of cause, etc. My concern here is only about the true ablative case (ablative of separation)."
