inflected postpositions, stranded postpositions

[Steve Marlett]

Dear LingTypers: 

I am looking for languages with postpositions that are inflected for the person (and perhaps number) of their complement.  I suspect that there may be a terminological matter to deal with (some have called them relational nouns --- but that term goes in other directions as well). 

I am also looking for languages in which the postposition may be "stranded" when the complement occurs elsewhere in the sentence.  

If anyone has some suggested places to look for these, I would appreciate it. (I will be presenting a paper about this topic at the next SSILA meeting, relating to one language in Mexico.)
