LABARISH PREPOSITIONS
Due to their systematical pretonic position, prepositions use to undergo phonetical reductions. Some of them are fossilized case-forms of current words: (*sekōd) > sepū > sepu; onkon > onko .
Comparative Indo-european Linguistics show that some prepositions governed the instrumental case (er v.g.), but in Labarion ablative and instrumental have in practice fused. All simplifying, we can consider as the ablative this generally governed case.
In Labarion all the prepositions govern one of two cases: either accusative or ablative-instrumental; the partial exception is in “in”, which governs the locative case along with the ablative.
