translative
Becoming-something grammatical marker
Translative describes movement from one place, state, or form to another.
In grammar, the translative case marks what something becomes: The water froze solid uses a translative construction.
More broadly, translative applies to anything involving transfer or transformation: translative processes in language change, translative motion across boundaries.
