The paper discusses the origin and cognateness of three Ugric local case suffixes on the basis of numerous linguistic data. Two of them, -l and -t, have functions of the ablative type; the third is locative -t. Ablative -l originates from the Ugric period, while the hitherto unrecognized ablative -t comes from the Uralic period. It appears that all of the three suffixes at hand are attested in each of the three Ugric languages. In Ostyak, locative -t only occurs in fossilized adverbs, but it has correspondents in the Finno-Permic branch of languages, too, hence it is inherited from the Finno-Ugric period.
