It depends on how broad you want the meaning of "in" to be.  For
example:

	a. John is IN (within the boundaries of) New York.
	b. John is IN (within the space of) the bathroom.
	c. The meat is IN (same as b.)

A couple of different things can eb done in Sasxsek.

	a.	li dzjan pos tu li nu'jork.
		NAME John be-located at NAME New-York.

		li dzjan pos hinu li nu'jork.
		NAME John located interior+PREP NAME New-York.

		li dzjan pos hinusimanu li nu'jork.
		NAME John located inside+boundary+PREP NAME New-York.

		li dzjan pos simanu li nu'jork.
		NAME John located boundary+PREP NAME New-York.


The first would be the most likely usage, but the others are possible
depending upon how specific the speaker wants to be.
