Sasxsek has a set of basic (CV) prepositions and an extended set
that are derived using the "-u" suffix.

Basic

	tu		= at (locative)
	fu		= to, toward
	mu		= away from
	bu		= opposed to, against, anti, contra
	iu		= of (genitive)
	ku		= with (comitative)
	nu		= without, sans
	ju		= using, with (instrumental)
	su		= via, through
	lu		= called, named, by the name of

Derived

	hin		= interior
	hinu		= in(side)

	sot		= exterior
	sotu		= outside (of)

Compounded

	futu		= upto, as far as
	fuhinu	= into
	muhinu	= from inside of
	fusotu	= out to
	musotu	= from outside of
