after, behind
| Morphological Notes | Preposition/adverb (HR); indeclinable form functioning to denote spatial or temporal sequence. |
| Rendering Rationale | This prepositional form derives from the root meaning "to be behind" or "to come after," preserving both spatial (behind) and temporal (after) sequence inherent in the root. As an indeclinable preposition/adverb (HR), it expresses position or succession without inflection. |
