It's the equivalent of German von. (Interestingly, however, the German version retains the Czech dative suffix, i.e. von Schluderpacheru.)

Genitive, I believe, not dative.

(Masculine dative is also -u, but genitive can be, too, when it’s not -a, and I think that “from” takes the genitive.)

Well, if I could ask for anything it would be for Japanese to be included in your “Polyglot” posts :)

Though I realise they’re primarily for your benefit and interest rather than mine.
