Lume looks to be quite regular, in part because it's turning out that its prepositions are full-fledged verbs. The carry a full lexical load, so maybe they won't be as prone to idiomatic use as true prepositions, which are more like quasi-verbs whose lexical load is more vaguely defined than nouns, verbs, etc. ---larry
