Re: Lin: Postpositions

From: "Raymond Brown" <ray.brown@...>

| Lin doesn't use prepositions (i.e. particles placed before noun phrases)
| but postpositions.  These are always one-letter words which are immediately
| preceded by {`}, e.g.
| London`a = to London

Exian uses a lot of one-consonant prepositions: some of them are even case
endings from Indo-European switcherooed into prefixes; others are Semitic-based.

In fact, there are cases where the preposition takes on a zero-letter form! The
only change in those cases are initial mutation. For example, |kalb| [k@lv]
"dog" has an instrumental |nk@lb| [Nh@lv]. The initial sound is a voiceless
nasal, the same as |ngh| in Welsh.
