On page 93 of his Grammar Taylor divides prepositions, or more strictly speaking, postpositions, into five classes, and speaks of ne prepositions as those which govern the preceding noun or pronoun in the locatival genitive, masculine or neuter. In paragraph 97 a list of 141 prepositions is given. Of the 27, which take the ne construction, 15 may be explained as above, but in some instances, e.g. Kārane, jore, dvāre, and yoge, the case may well be the instrumental, if the meaning of the postposition be taken into account. They are the following:—arthe “ with a view to ”, Kāje “ for ”, in order to, Kārane, jore “ on account of”, thekāne, badale “ in place of”, dvāre “ by way of ”, padakhe “ near ”, mukdbale “ in comparison with”, mokhare “ in front of“, yoge ” by means of“, lekhe “ at the rate of”, sāte “ in exchange for”, sthale, sthāne “ in place of ”. These are all locatives, and in some cases possibly instrumentals of nouns still in use and signifying the idea conveyed by the corresponding postposition. But tulya and sam “equal to” are adjectives, while lagto “pertaining to” and pharto “surrounding” are declinable participles or participial adjectives. The ne, which precedes them, is not the locative of the genitive, but the dative (objective) case ending.
