that's exactly the sight I've been working from to create Carrajena's prepositions and I've been using another page on that site as a reference/jumping off point for my pronouns.
So far I know the following prepositions in Carrajena:
ad - to, toward(s), in, at, by
adjirga - about, concerning, on
adregu - in the rear, behind
andi - before, before now, in front (of), in the presence of
audri - on the side, next to, beside
averzu - in the opposite direction, opposite, compared with, contrary to
chirga - near, round about, close (by, to), aproximately, about
cun - with
di - of, from
All others are yet to be decided upon.

No idea. But an interesting phenomenon indeed.

Not that I know of. In general, this is a very interesting site:
