Some creoles have a general locative preposition 'na' (the form of which is
of Port. origin).  Meanwhile, Esp/Ido/Nov share a general preposition
'je/ye' /je/.

In my Optima project:

I will probably combine the creole form with the IAL function: a general
(not just locative) preposition 'na', for use when no specific preposition
is logically justified.

I would prefer a Novial28-style 'k and s' solution to the orthography
problem.  /k/ written 'k' always, and 's' standing for a 'broad' phoneme /s/
= [s ~ z].  This is the most practical solution for swedes and
hispanophones.
