I haven't been able to keep up with all the traffic here, but I will look at the Latin thread if I can find it.
Pluperfect in grammar means the perfect viewed as being in the past, e.g. perfect "Now I have seen" (action completed at present moment) becomes pluperfect "by then I had seen" (action completed at some past moment.)
Ablative is the name of a case, but it would take a tedious explanation to explain what that means.
