Single Word Prepositions

Directions

Name the English single-word prepositions. There are some less-common ones and some borrowed from other languages. First letter and overall rank of that word (among these words) are shown. Keep in mind the rank is based on occurrences of that word in English as *any part of speech* so it is not necessarily the rank of it as a preposition (I do not have that data).

Enter guesses above to begin.

“An” is an indefinite article, not a preposition. “A” is generally regarded the same way, though there are a few people who claim it can be a preposition.

Is there a minimum frequency for words to be included here? It looks like there are some single-word prepositions that are missing, like “amongst” and “ere”.
