I've done something similar in both of my conlangs. In my current one, the
locative prepositions are:

    Yai - to, in, into, on, at, inside, to, between, among, with, through
    Rai - out of, out from , from, away
    Lai - above, up, over,
    Hai - under, down, beneath, behind
    Sai - around, along, against, about
    Jai - in front of, before

It's not like a pidgin, but i am partial to prepositions that can cover
relationships that in English use many different ones.
