Yeah, and if there is no analog of ohaN with, say, a- or i- in the language(s)
then the o- would get no reinforcement among speakers for its putative status as
a locative.  If, on the other hand, there IS an *ahaN or a *ihaN, then the
reinforcement would be there and o- could be "seen" by children acquiring the
language as a productive prefix.
