OK, here come a couple of examples from colloquial Czech:

De^la' to pro na's pro oba. "He is doing it for (the) both of us."

Mluvili jsme o va's o vs^ech. "We spoke about all of you."

Beware that prep rep is VERY restricted in Cz. I am pretty sure that there
are folkloric examples such as those mentioned here for Ukrainian &
Polish, but I don't know enough songs etc. to do a mental computer
search...

All the best,
Katya
