Prepositions

We haven't discussed prepositions as of yet. They're not too difficult, since they are not declined and thus can be taken directly. Yet certain prepositions in Latin and Greek can have different meanings based on the case of the nouns they govern, and I'm not sure how to maintain that distinction. I'll deal with that later.
