one that I came up with for nasin sin Lonukes was pelosatawa meaning preposition, itself derived from the nimi sin set pe, lo, sa, ta, wa as unambiguous prepositional versions of kepeken, lon, sama, tan and tawa

oh funnily enough I coined these same words with different meanings! (except for sa, which is older than my involvement with the community)
- pe: a war crime
- lo: a weapon
- sa: the predicate marker for when you talk like Jar Jar Binks
- ta: an explosion
- wa: depression, the sound that a microwave makes

so does this mean that prepositions are:
- warcrimes
- weapons
- a predicate marker (used only when talking like Jar Jar Binks)
- explosions
- depressions
