If you are looking for natlangs treating this preposition, Hebrew does it in a most straightforward way: "between+X and+between+Y". ObConlang: My "Newgaritic" (a provisional nickname for my Semitic a posteriori newest conlang project, given to it by my wife Elena, btw) will treat it the same, I hope. -- Yitzik
