Seemingly, "sa" can mean any preposition. Or depends it on the case as
well?"
Unfortunately I can't answer your question--I'd like to know, though. There
actually is a word for "inside" at least--I overlooked this fact--given in
the Tzeltal grammar at
http://www.tzeltal.org/download/smith.txt
(in section 3.2.8). Does anyone know of any other such words?
