Dalecarlian prepositions
From UniLang Wiki
If we write í áni ('in the river'), then we have written a prepositional conjunction,
which is made of a preposition í and a controlee áni.
Prepositions are small words, which are set infront of or behind other words,
most often nouns and pronouns.<p>
The preposition controls the word, it is set with.
Sometimes it controls accusative:<p>
Sumer souðer gingu gínum býn, ('Some sheep went through the village')
Sometimes dative:
Hoñ byggir nest hánum, ('She lives with him')
And sometimes genitive:
Hvur langt ir heð et skúler?, ('How far is it to school?')
Note: This is a special prepositional genitive which is not in the ordinary tables, where only possessive genitive is represented. The reason is that the prepositional genitive is a frozen genitive which reflects the Old Dalecarlian use of genitive.<p>
Sometimes, the same preposition can control two cases, either accusative and dative or accusative, dative and genitive. No preposition controls nominative. Prepositions are not conjugated.<p>
