a very small set of simple postpositions that express what is most conveniently compared to grammatical case (topic, subject, direct object, benefactive, genitive, instrumental) and very few that express temporal (when?) or local relations (comparable to Finnish
inessive, ablative, and illative/allative). Everything else has to be expressed by a combination of GenitivePostp+N+InessivePostp like on = in top of, under = in bottom of, after = in behind of, etc. That always struck me as interesting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
