Preposition List

Writing up the preposition list for ghostian took me a long time, probably off and on over nine months. I'm done now. So I should post up the list.

Preposition prefixes:

ni- at, on, in
ka- to, for
ishi from (part of this set, written separately from following word)

Longer forms:
pena

ishipena

These forms are used when the following word is considered a place word.

place word prepositions:
-atara between, among
-úrut middle
-akon before, front, ahead
-nâ above
-balek reverse
-bon under
-blekag back, rear, behind
-sha around, behind

aslen
as, like
do before
nad above, over
keresh across, through
kot from (opposite of )
korom except, apart
at, near
piro instead
po along, around, on/in (time)
posli after
besh without
b' during
sh'
from, out (opposite of ninâ)

Particles that act as prepositions:
e topic

Next project will be working out the cases for the substantives.
