===Prepositions=== | |||
Prepositions are inflected, as in the ancestral Thensarian. The pronoun ''Sthána'' is not fused with the preposition, however. | |||
''ful'' = 'around' (fulan, fulas, fula, fuli, fulam, fulad, fulac, fular) | |||
The sequences ''le'' + ''an'' and ''de'' + ''an'' contract to ''len'' /ʟɛn/ and ''den'' /dɛn/. | |||
The 1sg and 2sg forms of prepositions are stressed on the last syllable; all other forms have initial stress. | |||
