Lahabic: Stative and Eventive Prefixes

Lahabic has two classes of prefixes (prepositions plus some other forms),
stative and eventive. Stative prefixes indicate state and govern locative
and dative, while eventive prefixes indicate motion and govern accusative
and genitive.
There are 33 prefixes in all, which is a very useful feature for deriving
verbs.
