106 Ukrainian: A Comprehensive Grammar 2.4.2.1 Alphabetical list of Ukrainian prepositions Many Ukrainian prepositions can govern more than one case. The vast majority of prepositions that govern only one case govern the genitive. We explore instances - and meanings - of multiple governance in the relevant sections of 2.4.2.2. Where a list is provided of prepositions governing one case only, examples of only a few selected ones will suffice, especially when several are synonymous (this is especially true of the genitive prepositions). Where prepositions govern more than one case, examples are cited for each. The following list includes historically simple prepositions (such as y), formations consisting of two prepositions (for example, з-за) or three prepositions (such as з-понад) acting as one, prepositional constructions involving a frozen case form (like позаду), as well as those resulting from other word- formational processes (for example, завдяки). It does not include constructions such as поруч з, in which the case of an accompanying noun or noun phrase is determined by the second element (here the preposition з); such constructions are numerous in Ukrainian, and quite transparent in their usage and meaning. English meanings for each preposition are given as of 2.4.2.2.
