Reconstruction
Considering the underlying meaning for these directional constructions seems to be "towards the (direction)", I assume they represent the neuter accusative case of the adjectives, similar to, serving originally as allative adverbs. The corresponding ablative constructions in would then have been formed secondarily to answer them, obviously after the roots were reinterpreted as  and the like.

Locatives
There probably also existed locative adverbs alongside the directive/allative adverbs;, , and  alongside , ,  and. I'm not really sure if it's worth reconstructing however, as the allatives and locatives would have merged in all the daughter languages except for Gothic. Anglom (talk) 16:42, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
