Skrivet en doa Gary Shannon:
In Lautopaei, I have only one preposition "lou" (a postposition
actually) which stands for virtualy everything. Ambiguities are resolved
through context and used of specific verbs.
Note that this is a common features among natlang. Thus in Mayan tongues
there is only one preposition (ta in Totzil, if I remember well). French
has also specific verbs of movement (descendre, monter, sortir, entrer)
but are still used with prepositions because they have a specific (and
often quite different meaning) when transitive
