Re: "In spite of"

Oh, at last, some actual conlanging!
In Omina, "in spite of" is rendered by the preposition begi "opposite,
against" plus the genitive (begi governs the locative in the former cases):
so "in spite of them" = begi erean (cf. begi erea "opposite to them")

How do y'all express this meaning, whether as as conjunction or
adposition or case or whatever, in your conlang or in natlangs
you know?  I'm particularly interested in languages where it's derived
from some more basic root rather than being an unanalyzable
particle.
