Prepositions
Although Ori uses cases to show location in many situations (typically by use of the dative, locative, or instrumental cases), it also uses prepositions to further indicate more specific location or relationships.
bulu ‘through’
menya ‘across’
nye ‘out of, from, away from’
nela ‘amongst, midst’
amo ‘around, surrounding’
ebel ‘for the sake of’
dranme ‘thanks to’
he ‘by, next to, near, with, close to’
pa ‘beneath, under(neath)’
pel ‘during’
casya ‘without’
nimi ‘inside (of), in’
These prepositions maybe used with nouns in various cases: it depends on the preposition.
Prepositions with the locative case:
bulu ti-mulyurati ‘through the forest’
menya embete ‘across a river’
nelanyendac ‘amongst friends’
amo oltacya ‘around a tomb’
pa bestiti ‘under ground’
Prepositions with the genitive case:
nye ti-tyagalpan ‘away from the storm’
pel plenyullasye ‘during the autumn’
Prepositions with the dative case:
ebel calya nimalya ‘for the sake of my mother’
dranme tate tyollate ‘thanks to your younger brother’
Some prepositions may be used with different cases, which give different shades of meaning.
nimi ti-mulyurati ‘inside the forest’ (used with locative): implies deep within the forest, perhaps out of sight
nimi ti-mulyurato ‘into the forest’ (used with accusative): implies movement to and through the forest
